Most of the rpm limits I've seen for multi-pole motors doesn't matter as we won't hit those rpms in our application. To answer the original question, no, we don't need 6-8 pole motors as 2-4 poles do just fine for our 1/8 trucks. But I don't think 6+ poles will be a bad thing in our application. It just takes someone to try it out. The benefits probably wouldn't be big enough to say one is better than the other. Just more options to choose from.
