It was already waterproof, When it went from E-firestorm to E-firestorm flux, it was deemed waterproof. The 4 pole is the latest upgrade.

Personally i think the E-firestorm has been the rustler beater since getting the BL setup. Loosely based off the T4 associated, but with more flexible pieces

Saw a typo. 2.3mm 1/8" shaft.....

I noticed that the motor has "A B C" printed on the endcap. Does this mean there is a possibility that there will be a sensored version coming out soon? I can't think of a reason why those letters would be needed otherwise, especially since you can change direction simply by swapping motor leads or via software...

Sensored versions of this motor (and some lower kv models) would pair up nicely with a MMPro...

That's a pretty intriguing ready to run.

It has pretty much everything a basher or 1st time needs, and it is more than ready for all sorts of fun.

Find a sensored Aveox (Someone is selling a Stampede in rcgroups that comes with a Aveox sensored set up) and convert the sensor cable to work with today's ESC. I just tried my Aveox RC7 motor today with my Tekin RS Pro and it's incredible. I tried to get a 4 pole 540 motor made, but no luck. Good thing the motor manufacturers I spoke with now know what a few are looking for, plus they are ROAR legal as stated by a ROAR official in rctech and if they say no, I can send anyone the link and a screen print of the post .

ooh, I got to check it out. Bummer I just got a sensorless aveox motor. Sensored setups are cool in low voltage setups and Cheat mode.
