Novak HV-Motor's???

FWIW, if you ever need to figure out how many poles an inrunner motor has; Remove the rotor from the can, roll it on a flat metal surface, note how many times it "sticks" in one revolution.

Or just make it a helluva lot harder for yourself and open it up.

Using this method it is obvious that it's a 2 pole motor, I just tried it with my HV rotor with a snapped shaft

That makes total sense...

I'm actually pretty sure I was one of the first to get the new shaft after pre-ordering and waiting forever after I snapped this one. Honestly the HV isn't a horrible setup. I'm planning on racing this summer and if the track goes with ROAR rules and only allows 4s and approved motors I will most likely get another, prolly the 5.5, but I hope that's not the case as I like my MMM/Neu 5s much better! Sorry for the ramble

Actually you can know the pole number WITHOUT OPENNING the can.
Just rotate the motor shaft, feel how many "detent" in a whole 360 degree round turn.

2-pole rotor will feel 6 detents, that is, 2 polesX 3 stator phases= 6 sticky positions.

4-pole motor will feel 12 detents, same rule, no matter it has a slotted stator or not.
