nice brushless motor for e-revo - 07.30.2008, 12:32 PM

Hey all it's been awhile.

I got a new e-revo that I want to be brushless. I only bash on my home made track that is small and tight. I have a buggy I converted with a MM and Fieago 9xl (black finned motor) using two Orion 4800 lipos for power.

I have another MM and want a good relaible motor for a stock e-revo that is not too expensive. I was thinking of another Fieago/wanderer 9xl or 10xl with a heat sink. I will using the same battries for now. I would have to get a new charger setup to go any higher in capicity.

I am also thinking of using my current setup in the e-revo and getting a new motor for the buggy.

All opinions and questions are welcome.

Medusa v2 60mm 2000kv $115 is the way to go...

I've been using a 10XL with no problems on the emaxx/hyper 7, however I am running 6S A123's. 10XL may be a bit low in the KV department for your application. If the 70mm medusa was available, i'd switch to that in a heartbeat.

How about the 50mm medusa that is available in the monster store? Where can I get a 70mm one?

50 is not enough for a revo - 70 does not exist yet...

I use a 10XL on my gorillamaxx e-revo and I haven't had any real issues with it. See some of our last basher vids on brushlessmayhem.com for video. I think I got some of the revo their.

It does run a little warm, but I just changed to a 22T pinion so we'll see if it lowers the temp any.

The 9xl 4s combo should be fine in the the erevo.

You could go with a 60mm medusa 2000kv motor in your buggy. On 4s it should have similar performance to the 9xl, while running a bit cooler and possibly adding a little runtime.

+1

I'm running a 9XL on 4s in my E-Revo and it works like a champ. Currently geared 24/65.

Bah, you dont want those things- the fins dont make difference to a motor that is on the verge of meltdown all the time, and there is no way to hold them together with a clamp, short of making your own one. Standard smooth can 9XL and RCM clamp is much better, maybe with a little thermal grease added between them.

+1 for the Medusa, a little more money but runs much cooler than Feigao motors. Or if your not in a huge hurry wait a coupke weeks and see if the CC Neu designed motors are out yet, price should be comparable to a Medusa, possibly lower.
