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.
