Post your Medusa setup here
 

Let's have a thread where we post information about our Medusa setups.

It can be anything with a Medusa Motor.

Please post size and kv of motor, ESC, gearing, battery configuration and any other important information.

I'll go first.

E Revo
MMM
Medusa 36-60-2000kv using a Novak Heatsink
Gearing 18/52 Mod 1
5000mah 20C 4S Lipos

XRay XT8
MMM
Medusa 36-80-2000 - no heatsink (yet - until Mike finishes his new ones)
Gearing 48/12 Mod1
5Ah 25C 5s lipo

Hyper 8 buggy
36 60mm 1600kv v2
14/46 gearing
crimefighters
quark 125b (may swap to MMM)
6s 2170 fp 25c lipos

Runs a bit warm, close to 160f on the motor. I may go up to a 15t and see if that helps. The quark stays cool, but one of them poofed so I may swap to the MMM. And it will look cleaner without the ccbec and related wiring.

Jammin X1-CRT truggy
36-60-1600
14/46 (diff ratio of 13/43)
MMM V3
5s 4800mah or 5s 5000mah, both 20C
Motor doesn't exceed 160 deg. F, and is typically around 140.

Losi Muggy
36-60-1300
12/46
LT10s120a
8s 3300mah 25C, pq
RTR weight: 5.6kgs / 12.3lbs
Motor gets to 180f / 80c pretty quick. I only ran this setup once. Esc and batteries got warm too. Put this motor in because I was tired of waiting for the 80mm's. Right now my 36-80-1100 should be somewhere over the Atlantic....

Hyper 7
MMM
Medusa 36-70-1600kv no heatsink, clamp or any other tomfoolery :)
Gearing 15/46 Mod 1
6S1P A123

Runs fast, hard and gets to maybe 130ish or so. Easily passes the 5 second test.

CRT .5
MM (ubec)
Medusa v2 50mm 3300kv 5mm
18/46
2s Enerland 25C 5k / 3s Maxamps 25C 5k

Slash
MM
Medusa 36-50 4800 kv
17/83
2s 6500 mah

Never goes above 105.

e-maxx
mmm
medusa 36-70-2300 and hv novak heatsink
2x2s 5200mah rcm lipo hardcase
gearing 24/85 (48-52mph)

more than 20 minutes runtime never goes above 150-160

Would it be possible to you, to add some ESC setups also, like advance etc... ??
Im just testing, what setup would be good, advance 10 or 12 and start power med or high, using MMM.
My setup is:
Hyper ST Pro
MMM
Medusa V2 2200kv 80mm with RCM XL-heatsink
2x 4800mah 25C 4S Zippy-R in parrel
gearing 14/52

Losi 8ight B
Tekno Conversion
weight-8lbs RTR
MMM
Medusa 60-2200
13/48 or 14/48 depending on track
4s- Hyperion 5350 16c, Neu 5000 25c, Fully Maxx 4400 35c
Temps- Haven't seen over 160, mostly 140
Runtime- 15min mains at ARC Raceway (no warm-ups)
MMM settings- everything low or lowest, linear graph, 30% punch, no expo, no brakes

Also ran the 50-2200 for a while and it worked just fine, the 60 just has more power and snap.

My setup:

Hyper 8.5
MedUsa 36-70-1600 V2
Rhino 5s 4900mah 20c
Gearing 15/46, I can gear higher if i want more speed, but I don´t:lol:
MMM settings, High start power, 100% punch control, lowest timing.
Everything runs cool, i have yet to reach 77F:intello:

Runtime depends but i get an easy 20 min run on it, maybe even 25-30 min.

RB3 (linked if you need it)
36-50-3300 v2-5
18/66 on e-savage gearbox
lpr crimefighters
MM esc 10 or can use 15 deg timing, 0 punch, 30 brakes, 30 reverse
3s 5400 trakpower
3950grams
Really good value and performance from these motors. I got recommended to use 15deg timing, but I'm still running 10, and everything is not hot enough to warrant even getting the gun out.

CRT.5
47/15 mod1
36-50-4800V2-5
4S1P A123
3" foam tires
RC-Monster Heatsink clamp
LT 1/10 ESC

Runs great in the CRT.5. Motor Temps maxed at 130F. Keeps up with touring cars with ease in a short-medium track. -->Click for YouTube link
With a 20T pinion the motor looses it's marbles and just sits there looking sorry at you.

Same motor, batteries and ESC in Rustler with 58/25 mod.8 gearing, sucked donkey's.

In the next two weeks with birthday money I am going to purchase:

MMM and the 36-50-3300 for my slash.

Crt.5
36-50-4800-5mm V2
MM esc 2s 5000mah neuenergy hardcase lipo
47t spur 11,12,13,15,17,19t pinions, generally geared for mid 30's depending on tires and terrain

Motor has never been over 130* even on a 90* summer day
Easily get 20min bash sessions

Linc

what kind of run time were you getting with the 6s 2170 packs and did you have any problems with lack of amperage with the setup? I am planning on setting up a truggy with a leftover Neu 1515/2.5d with a 6s 3700 25c pack and have also thought of the 6s 2500 packs Mike sells.....trying to get an idea on things

Moi:
11lb RTR hyper ST
Medusa 36-70-1600
MMM
neuenergy 6s 4900 25c lipos
13/51 gearing
stock tyres

Crt.5
50mm/2200 on 4S 2100 packs
14/46 on M2Ks, upto 18/46 w/ 1/10 buggy tires.
Faster than jesus, and can't keep wheels down. 48 mph or so just on the mashers.
Temps? Always under 120. Stopped checking a while ago.

HPI E-Savage (Trophy Truck Conversion)
Medusa MR-036-060-3100V2-5
1/8 Buggy Wheels/Tires
65t spur / 20t pinion (Mod .8)
2 in series 2S LiPo 5000 mAh 25C (14.8 V)
Mamba Max, 12V Fan, CC BEC
RC-Monster Heatsink/Clamp

With above setup Estimated 38 MPH. ESC runs 120F and Motor runs about 130F in sunny 60F degree ambient temps. Solid 30 minutes of bashing with little to no stopping.

With 5.5 inch Monster Truck tires (estimate 45 MPH) motor continues to run at about 130F but MM ESC temps escalated to 170 by end of the run. Run time in the 20-25 min range for bashing.

E-revo
36-60-2000 Medusa heat sink.
MMM
Gearing varies as to what voltage and tires.Currently 20/65 with original Savage tires,on 4s 5200.Great for the rough stuff,but tires limit it to around 38.24/54 with Dirt bonz on 4000 6s,gets 60 mph.
Hottest it's ever been is 165.But I was being stupid running 4s to 50 mph,in the middle of summer,with no heat sink.
After running this motor for about 8 mos,I have to say it's great.I wish I could find an excuse to get the 70-2300,but so far I just can't justify it.

Losi 8ight-B
36-70mm 1600kv v2 w/heatsink
16/45, 40/13 internals
4s 5000 30c Flightmax (wish I bought two)
150-155 degrees on the motor, battery and ESC luke warm, perfect mix of speed and control on the track.
37.41 mph.

Not a top speed run buggy, but I don't do speed runs, track use only.

Ofna Ultra MBX 1/8 Buggy:
Airtronics M11 with Spektrum Module
Spektrum Reciever
Airtronics 94358 servo
Mtroniks Genesis Truck ESC

Wow Guys! What a way to put those Medusa Motors to work. LOL :yes:

If you haven't added your Medusa setup to this thread, would you please post it here for all of us to see?

Thanks

My daughter's crt.5

1. mm esc
2. Medusa 50 series 3300kv 5mm shaft
3. TrueRc hard case 2s li-po 5000mah
4. Futaba 125 oz servo
5. Pro line 2.2 Gladiator tires
6. Slingshot white rums/dyed black

ESC settings:

1. timing 2 deg.
2. med start power
3. 30% punch control
4. 60% brakes
5. 3.2 v/c li-po cut off

stock spur..44 I think ....16 pinion

Temps have greatly depended on her driving and where we drive. Sunday she kept thermaling the esc...we were in beach sand which I am sure was 80% of the issue. I have since tweaked the esc a bit...so we shall see.

All in all the esc /motor combo is smooth and plenty for her

ESC settings:

Punch: 30%
Drag: 0%
Brakes: 30%
Reverse: 50%
Start Power: Medium
Timing: High 15 degrees
Normal brake curve
Simple one point (gentle) slow start ramping to full throttle curve for more precise low to medium throttle control, and still pull's wheelies on demand at half to wide open throttle, good for jump control. Motor never gets over 130 degrees. 20-25 minute run times.

No idea what it's top speed is, all I know is it gets there in a hurry!

I also had it installed in my aftershock, revo, savage X, and a gs storm buggy. I have a hard time keeping rims on my trucks and I've killed many diffs, drive shafts and axles with this motor..

It seems that 3.5hp is too much power for current day nitro/electric RC's to handle.:lol:

Cheers.
