Medusa Afterburner V2 BL motors

I have read only good things about medusa 60mm motors in revo's and buggy/ truggies.
I know larger can motors will have more torque, but if the 60mm motors seem to be doing well, what would the benefit be of larger cans?

I am currently building a revo which will be running 10s and a 1000-1100kv motor and a muggy on 6s which will be running 1600kv. Both cars will be geared for 40mph. Which size can would suit each car best? I was thinking 36-60-1100 for the revo and 36-70-1600 for the muggy?

Larger cans can handle more current without getting as hot due to more surface area to dissipate heat.

If it were my choice to make, I'd go 70mm in both the Revo and Muggy.

IMO. It would run cooler and more efficiently b/c it would take less energy/power to get the wheels moving literally. And you should be able to increase your run times since the motor will be more efficient.
I myself will be getting the 60-2000 (for my revo conv.) this Friday, and reading from what others have posted, I shouldnt have any issues. I may get the 70 later on if it proves to be that much of a difference.
