Motor selection for Slayer

[suicideneil]

Neu- $$$ yeah, but quality with it.

Feigao - cheap for a reason.

Medusa - wait for the 70mm version, or the existing 60mm V2 models are very good, just choose Kv rating according to voltage used. Best to order direct from them, or via mike really.

AXi- only if you want to build an outrunner powered truck with direct-drive, nothing higher than about 1000kv available (plane and heli motors, they are).

CastleNeu is due out end of the month or so- Neu type quality for only ~$100 or so....

Lehner - german, brilliant, $$$.

Hacker - same.

Hobbycity - god no, spinning toasters of death.

Megamotors - 22/35 or 22/45 models, choose kv according to voltage again.

He's right, though. I've been eyeing the new Medusa V2's myself. Medusa or Neu would be my choices. Or, if you're in Europe, definitely consider Lehner as well.

I'll be converting a Slayer myself when they come out and trying the Medusa 36-60 1600kv on 6s .

I have the 1600kv in my X2 truggy on 5s and a spare one for my buggy or Slayer , which ever i get going first.

If it's not up to the task i'll just get the 70 size when Medusa releases them , for the money they can't be beat .

Sounds like the 70 might be just the ticket. Guess I'll wait around a bit and maybe buy a quart of nitro. . . ewwwww. :(

The 50mm Medusa will be plenty if you keep the 2-speed and mechanical brakes. I ran a 50mm 2200 in my Revo and in my Losi 8ight buggy and it worked great. If you wanna go Neu I'd say the 1509 would be the ticket.

Wow the 50 was alright with that set up , i'm quite shocked but thats good news .
What batteries and esc did you use in that set up .

I ran the Tekno RC conversion, 4s 16c Hyperion 5350mah battery, MM with Castle BEC. The Medusa's are good motors, the only negative i have to say about them is I have had the endbell pop off on me. Not that big of a deal, the older version of the Neus were subject to that too. I just put it back on and ran a bead of CA around it, no more problems.
