4 pole vs. 2 Pole motors

[DrDiff952]

I am new to brushless motors. I understand that for crawling I must use a sensored motor. I have a Mamba Max Pro driving a brushed motor.

So what are the advantages of a 4 pole versus 2 pole motor?

4 pole has more torque and has a smoother bottom end. 2 pole are good for high rpm applications (onroads, planes, boats, 2wd buggies)

Only 2wd buggies? Lol

Twice the poles.

Not always. If you want something that starts up like a brushed motor, then yes, sensored is your best bet. If smooth startup is not uber important, then you can work with non sensored but you will have to pick your esc a bit more carefully.
