Medusa Afterburner V2 BL motors

I'm seriously considering getting one of these. I'm currently running a 10XL, so the 36-60-1600v2 would be pretty much a direct replacement. Of course, they are backordered. The 4 pole and efficiency are what attract me to it, and the price isn't half bad either. I'd love to run one of the castle neu's, but at 2200Kv, that's just spinning too fast for a 6S setup. I'd prefer my rides not to sound like a dentist's drill whizzing by.

I'm wondering if the 1500kv setup woudn't be a bad one? Gearing up shouldn't be a problem. Max rpm would be around 29,000 rpm. Seems kinda on the low side, but I guess being a 4 pole that isn't that low?

The XL is 74 mm though. That's why I got excited at the news of a 70 mm Medusa coming. A quality affordable alternative.

I'll be waiting for the 70mm as well. It will fit right in my MBX5T.

I just received a email letting me know the 036-050-2200V2-5 is backordered and won't ship for 3 weeks. Looks like my buggy won't get it's first run for a while longer now.

The 70mm version might be a good option for my Savage X when it becomes available. The 8XL I'm running now doesn't feel strong enough compared to the same motor in my truggy.

Yeah, that is true. 60mm would probably be pretty good in a buggy, although I know they like torque too.

Hell, everything likes torque!
