I would go for the 8xl or 9xl. I ran the Feigao 9xl in and old buggy I had a while back for about a year, and it ran great... with pretty cool temps too. I had speeds in the low to mid 40's, so I wasn't wishing I had more.

I have a 9xl in my mbx-5 now..it does run hot, especially w/the mmm. I bought a 1512 1.5yF and it runs 30* cooler. As far as the Medusa's go....try the 60 series, a better choice than the 50 series on 4s...IMO
I am getting a 50 series for my crt.5

The stock spur is 46...mine is geared 17/46 and I just switched to 5s


1. MBX-6 T8 1900KV, RX8 ON 4S
2. MBX-5T 1520, MMM ON 5S
3. MBX-5 ONROAD CONVERSION 1515, MMM ON 5S
4. MRX-3 ON ROAD CONVERSION 1512, MMM ON 6S
5. TEN T 2650 T8, MMP ON 3S
