nice brushless motor for e-revo -

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
