But I'm also having cogging issues that I'm having trouble fixing. Motor locks up some times while I'm coasting or braking. I'm still playing with speed controller settings to try to fix.
Hi Soldier,

I've been thinking about giving the Medusa Motors a shot myself. I want the 036-060-2000V2.

Set your ESC to Race Mode, Dynamic Torque, Inrunner Mode (seems to work better even with multipole motors), Normal Braking

In my opinion, you are undergeared.

In Mod 1 gearing with that motor I would go 14/40.

If you're going with the 32 pitch gearing, you probably need a smaller spur and a larger pinion.

You might also try a heat sink with a fan if you're worried about temps.

I've heard those motors are pretty mean.
