Hmmm, I have to get me one. Hopefully the shaft doesn't snap off like its predecessor.

It would be really great if 5mm on the shaft was an option.

These do look much better built.

I snapped a shaft off an old style 4600 just recently. been running castles motors for years, & that was a newy for me. Luckily i had a spare rotor from an old 5700. Dunno how i snapped it, i even checked my spur to see if any teeth were missing, & yeah the spur was perfect.

Lincpimp - they're probably still 2-pole & i can tell you that without even opening it up. Cost for the new ones is still the same as the older ones. But yeah i really love the new design of the CM36 motors. You can actually get into them now without having to hack away at that epoxy stuff, & the screws wont snap while tightening/loosening either!

Also notice how the endbell is fully enclosed, not like the older style where the bearing had an opening but was covered by the sticker...

Return that 4600 -- We'll replace it. We had some issues where our shaft vendor was hardening the shafts too hard, and they would snap.

I would return it, but i live far far away in australia. Ive got a spare rotor from a 5700 i got when i first purchased a MM combo. I appreciate your comments though mate. & I know the offer is there if i need it.

& Im not trying to give you guys bad rep. Im always going to be a CC guy through & through. Besides, ive got a new 4600 motor & new esc to play with now...

BTW, i know its not needed for this application, but its going in a slash. & now MLT (my local track) is trying to put a motor limit of 10.5 in for next year, so i have room to run sensored now properly too!
