Damn, I want Medusa back...I will definitely keep an eye out a Neu 1509.

I noticed that Electrifly makes an ammo motor in the same size as the Medusa 36-50-3300 are these any good or will it not be strong enough and over heat?

I did not have much success with the electrifly motor that i tested, although others have had success... Look on rcgroups and offshoreelectrics forums, usually you can find a deal on the smaller neu 1506 and 1509 motors. Not sure of OSE still has the 15 series neus on sale, but that is worth a try as well.

Those velineon are fine motors for this application. IF you snap the smaller 1/8 shaft it's cheap to replace. Mind you I said IF, as the likely hood is low. The medusa are awesome, but use the velineon and enjoy it, it will do you well so long as you keep it geared 35-38mph range which is plenty fast for bashing or racing. High speed asphalt runs obviously can be geared up but that's another story.

Hi !

Are these little truggy's to small for a grass track ? the grass is about 1/2 inch high !

Thats good to know, I will stick with the velineon motor for now then and hopefully I wont have to worry about gettng another motor. :intello:

Linc thanks for the tips I will keep my eye out for a Neu or look for one if the VXL breaks.
