yeah i understand where all you guys are comming from.
zippy not top-of-line.
but me and my friend try really hard to drive setup friendly, meaning low amp draw setups and no hard punching of the throttle.
i think my punch is set at 80% and the throttle curve is pretty gradual.
i know i might seem like a bit of a A hole but im not ready to blame it on batts yet
and yeah i kinda didnt make my statment about the medusa thing properly
the castle/neu is a tougher motor, but the medusa runs a bit cooler and has much less cogging, but it lacks rebuildability and prolly has smaller main bearings.
power lines...well we both run spektrum DSM 1 systems (DX2 and DX3s) and he has no power lines at his place...
so hte only thing left is hte LVC like you guys said...and again, no make sence to me as we dont push the batts hard
(for that 50mph setup it is a pretty gradual wind up to top speed)
