Another Gmaxx is born

Bad news:

Garhhh. My new PC died after one day- think its the CPU as it makes a funny crackling/scratching noise, even with the case and heat sink fans disabled. Anyways, whilst thats being sorted out (return to base warrenty thank God) I fixed up my old PC thankfully so I can still acess the internet/p0rn and not go mad.

Good news:

My Medusa 36-80-2000kv motor turned up today- super fast shipping by Mike and it even made it through customs without being hit-up for import taxes, despite being labelled as $73 value (price after voucher was applied). Looks like a very nice motor, very strong magnet and very notchy, so should put out a butt load of torque Im hoping- just what my truck needs. Interesting to see that the front face is very thick- medusa suggest 3-5mm screws for mounting, which will make it rock solid (slightly thicker than the hobbycity front face it appears). The shaft also has a flat spot, and it also has the short shaft sticking out the rear- will look into that fan add-on that medusa are planning, if I likes the look of it that is (fans are awesome!).

Will post up some pics tomorrow afternoon, and hopefully start work editing up that video of the last run.
