Poles.

[philg]

Just a quick tech question.
I`m looking at some motors on the HK site,they tell you how many poles the motors have.
Is it better to have 16 or 22? What the difference in performance etc.

cheers.

not all esc's have the ability to control the higher pole-count motors. if you find a motor you absolutely must try, buy one and an esc and see if they work well together. the high pole-count motors can decouple from the ESC control and bring the operation to a screeching halt.

Thanks for the information,and warning mate.

Does the higher pole rate mean a increase in performance?
