He was doing top speed runs on Asphalt, and did say he would have to gear lower if he were bashing in grass, etc.
Choosing the right gearing can be tricky. Alot of it depends on what you plan on doing with the truck, bashing, racing or whatever.
Brian's top speed estimater is a valuable tool in decision making.
I think any of the motors you are looking at would work with great results, just with each geared a little different.
The lower the kv a motor has, the more torque it makes. However, overall effeciency depends not only on gearing and overall setup, but from motor to motor, differences in engineering design make all the difference.
From what I gather, the Medusa Motors sound very promising. I believe them to be a great performer in a wide variety of applications. 
Where can I get a 36-60-2000? Everyone appears to be out of stock. |
are you going to be running your revo on 6s or 4s cause that guy that hit 52 was running it on 4s.
so 6s is going to be amazing haha.
if you do let me know cause i was looking at the same setup but for a nitro revo converted.
oh and so it does not seem like im thread jacking
i would go with the 1500. since unlike the revo you have a center diff and that well giv eyou more power. a revo looses power through its tranny. and since you have so many pinion options i would just go witht he 1500 and gear it for what ever track you drive on.
