Medusa 70mm enough for 11lb truggy? - 02.06.2009, 11:34 PM

Hey guys. I'm thinking about buying a 70mm medusa from Mike tomorrow for my truggy. It will be the 36-70-1600. I am running 6s lipos with 13/52 gearing. Let me know your thoughts.

I think you'll be fine. I'm running an 80mm in a 16lb MT and it hauls, no problems moving it. These motors are torque monsters!

I run a 36-80 in my 10 pound Maxx on just 4S and it moves it around like it only weighs 1 pound. Except that torque comes with a price.... a smooth spur gear....

Ok, I will go with a 70mm. I can either get the 2200kv one for 4s or the 1600kv for 6s. What do you think? My 4s pack is 3300mah 25c FP and the 6s pack is 4900mah 25c neu.

1600kv. Those 4s lipos are too small for a 70mm in a 11+ lb truck.
