I think the Bigmaxximum is a 6 poler motor. If you look at the first picture on this site http://rc.stuurmijmail.nl/Bigmaxximum/index.html you can see 3 bumps which are the magnets and that is half of the rotor.

They are only mentioning the Maxximum. The BigMaxximum is 6 Poles.
You can get HP220 series motor with 4 or 6 pole magnet, but I thought that 6 pole was not for cars, but for planes and helis. It would be worthwhile to check that.
On the other hand it would be hard to imagine schulze ESC running 6-pole motor at 70000 RPM, while heli's versions were limited to 35000.

Reason: Bad spelling :)
Some ESC will do the 70K rpm with a 6 pole motor, but that would be insane (I got to try it one day LOL). My Plet Extreme is 6 poles and it made my TC3 faster than a fully loaded HPI Pro4 with a Novak 3.5 system in it. I used my MM with 11.1v 5000mAh and the 11.1v 2200mAh KongPower packs. The RPM with no load / volt: 4600 1/min, so it could've been spinning at 45 to 50K rpms loaded.
