Yeah, I too just ordered the Medusa 36-50-3300kvV2. I am going to use my Mamba Max ESC, just not sure on gearing. I am going to start out with my buddys' 2S lipo. Also not sure whether or not to start with the stock wheels and tires or upgrade to 2.2 truck rims and tires. Trying to keep my temps low on my motor and ESC. Any advice?
