This guy has his E Revo geared 24/54 in an E Revo using a Medusa 36-60-2000 and was hitting 52mph with it.

http://www.rc-monster.com/forum/showthread.php?t=13551

He was doing top speed runs on Asphalt, and did say he would have to gear lower if he were bashing in grass, etc.

Choosing the right gearing can be tricky. Alot of it depends on what you plan on doing with the truck, bashing, racing or whatever.

Brian's top speed estimater is a valuable tool in decision making.

I think any of the motors you are looking at would work with great results, just with each geared a little different.

The lower the kv a motor has, the more torque it makes. However, overall effeciency depends not only on gearing and overall setup, but from motor to motor, differences in engineering design make all the difference.

From what I gather, the Medusa Motors sound very promising. I believe them to be a great performer in a wide variety of applications.

Where can I get a 36-60-2000? Everyone appears to be out of stock.

are you going to be running your revo on 6s or 4s cause that guy that hit 52 was running it on 4s.

so 6s is going to be amazing haha.

if you do let me know cause i was looking at the same setup but for a nitro revo converted.


oh and so it does not seem like im thread jacking

i would go with the 1500. since unlike the revo you have a center diff and that well giv eyou more power. a revo looses power through its tranny. and since you have so many pinion options i would just go witht he 1500 and gear it for what ever track you drive on.

I have a 2000 I was planning to use in my emaxx, never make it and itīs still in his box waiting for some action... I wouldnīt mind selling it to you but I think that shipping overseas may be too expensive and wouldnīt make a good deal, neither for you or for me.

Back to the topic, Iīm sticking to the 1500 now, I think that with the gearing options I have it wonīt dissapoint me... I hope.

By the way, today I just received the zippy pack I was waiting and it seems I made a mistake... itīs a zippy-h instead of zippy-r and it wonīt even fit in my battery tray... Iīll need to be more cautious next time and donīt order when Iīm in a hurry like I did that time...
