Title: TACON Big Foot 32 poles
Post by: Carl Cisneros on October 23, 2015, 11:44:32 PM

does any one know the actual pole count of the Tacon Big Foot 32 motor?
The site says 6 but I think that is wrong. I count 12 stators inside the motor.
Thanks in advance.

It says turns, then poles.  I could believe 6 turns, but I haven't seen a 6-pole outrunner.

Count the magnets.  That will tell you how many poles it has.

Just a guess but it is probably 14. That is a common pole count (given 12 sets of coils) .

Seems pretty similar to an E-Flite Power 32

The Tacon motors are a very nice motor and smooth powerfull runners.
have used them for a few years flying RC and now in to a future CL build.
