RCM Medusa Motor Heatsink/Clamp
 

Anybody have some news on these? I have been waiting for this part to make an order. Any help would be appreciatted.

Thanks

I have the 80mm 2000kv motor in a 16.5 lb monster truck geared 54t spur,16t pinion and 7.5 inch tall tires....crazy power all the way around. I wanted the 1600kv but at the time Mike was out of them. Truck runs great on 4s, but uncontrollable on 6s.

Dont think that guy read the post right^^ LOL

WE have been waiting for over 2 months for this damn thing. Seems Mike dropped everything else for the slipperential.

Come On Mike, Updates Please!

this is all?

The heatsink/clamp Mike currently sells works well, using one on my Medusa. :neutral:

The new ones will be sized for the MedUsa motors and will have covers or plugs for the cooling holes. :whistle:

The heatsinks are a custom extrusion - I have already laid out $thousands on the extrusion die and material. I am waiting for the heat sinks to arrive just like you guys - trust me...I want to sell them to hopefully make some money back! The 1st sample was incorrect, so the die had to be reworked. It is getting close. :)

Sounds good! I'm in for 3 of them when they come out.

Ill be making an order for my crt.5 as soon as they are ready, thanks for the news mike.

I'm waiting on these too!

*** Will the revised Heatsink/Clamp with Endbell cover also serve as a front cover? ***

Or will we need to add the separate front motor cover?

Cheers.

It is extruded with a bolt on front and rear cover... will cover up all holes

Great! Thanks Arct1k.

I'll keep checking in here. Look forward to ordering.

Cheers.

Forgot to ask...

How's everyone sealing the case where the motor leads exit? That seems to be a sizeable opening for dust and dirt to enter too.

Is silicon sealant ok?

Cheers.

Works ok - I've done that in the past with CM36's

Or electrical tape/ foil tape works too.

I think the XL heatsinks are also out of stock. So at least for me the standard one is not an option. I have already destroyed one medusa due to the motor coming apart so I am not running the replacement until I get the clamp. The Medusa clamp is sounding nice though. Can't wait to get my hands on it so I can run the medusa again cause it did run really nice.

Thanks! Easy then. I'll probably give the silicone sealant a go.

I've received my Medusa and from everyone's comments on the forum I'm holding off installing it until I have the motor clamp/cover as well.

Can't wait to get it up and running though!

Any update at all on the ETA? Don't mean to be pushy! Just wondering :)

Lol after saying I wouldn't I installed the medusa on the weekend. The feigao was getting hot so i chucked on the medusa. I wasn't jumping or racing though and won't be until i have some form of clamp on it. I was just doing some drifting on the road in the raid. New single speed works much nicer the the two speed.

Any more news on this? i'm impatient.

Anything new ? am kind of......:sleep:

What's the word on this?

+1 my medusa is colecting dust...

Tell me about it my slash keeps starring at me

I'm keen on updated info as well!

My CRT.5 is waiting on one.

Any news ???

Yeah, as soon as mike gets them instock aswell as a medusa 36-50 3300kv 5MM shaft am ready to order all that plus a crt.5 conversion kit.

Mike wont be getting any more Medusas in stock, they have gone out of business- see the Medusa subforum for details.

Darn it... What am I going to do with my slash and crt.5 now?

They still have some version 1's. I just ordered one yesterday.

yeah i saw that, but I guess i just have to go with a different motor brand

updates...? no clamps in stock at all

Mike, as medusa has run out of buisness does that mean you will not produce these clamps now?

I'm pretty sure the clamps he's making will be more universal fitting so they will apply to other motors as well.

Hey is there ANY info on these???

Are they still in the works?

Any idea of an ETA?

Cheers.

I'm also ready to buy an "L" size one, preferably blue (silver OK too), whenever they are available again.

I'm digging this up again. Please Mike are these clamps still going to be produced and if not when will the normal clamps be back in stock?

These should be available by this time next week. :)

AWESOME!!! :party: :yipi:

Thanks for the word Mike!

Cheers :mdr:

Mike,

Since Medusa is no longer involved in the Hobby, do you know if anyone will be taking over that part of the company? A dedicated RC-Monster motor would be nice :lol:, along with the heat sink.clamp you know :intello:. Plus they are already blue.

Surely if mike made the motors they wouldn't need the clamp in the first place.

Thanks for the info Mike. Can't wait as I really don't want to race my medusa powered savage until the motor is clamped especially since i can't get another one now if it fails again. Also no other decent motor that i know will fit.

Hey Mike, Whats up? What is the word on these?:whistle:
