For those who were asking:

No, you can't upgrade the CM36 motors to a 1406 rotor... just wouldn't work. The 1406 uses a 4 pole rotor, and 12 slot stator. It's really just a miniature version of our award-winning 1515 motor.

It does have 200C rated magnets, 180C rated windings, and high performance bearings (NMB Japan.)

About a year ago, we started wondering how a "ROAR" legal size motor would perform with an internal design that was the same as the 1515. We had to reduce the rotor diameter a bit to meet the 36.02mm maximum outside diameter specified by ROAR, but after building samples and seeing how well the motor performed, we decided to roll out a whole line that matched our existing CM36 line.

The 1406 motor generates more torque, is more efficient over almost the entire operational band, and has much higher maximum power output than the CM36.

It is making it's debut at the Chicago show this week. :) That's why I gave Slim the OK to start a discussion about this new motor.

This motor uses the same internal construction as the 1410 (3800Kv) SCT motor, but uses a shorter rotor and stack to raise the Kv to 1/10th scale range.
