Medusa Afterburner V2 BL motors - RC-Monster Forums

Well I'm thinking of purchasing a Medusa motor to go with my LT ESC after *ahem* burning up the stock setup in my E-Revo

I was looking at the 70mm ones, but is it me or are the charts on the motors page all wrong? As I don't want to end up with the wrong motor! They are pretty pricey too, it had better last!

You think Medusa's are pricey?...sorry but no way...they are 4 pole and there reputation is awesome...haven't read anything derogatory about them that I can remember

pricey compared to what?

Well, I'm used to smaller scale setups so all this MT stuff is a little pricey compared to the 1/10th stuff. I'm used to paying £40 for a motor :P

lol...I understand then....main thing you have to remember is

speed is expensive....how fast to you want to go?

in my opinion......for the money, efficiency and durability........I don't think you can find a better system than the MMM combo...here at RCM mike sells this system for $279...it will save you money in the long run.....I just bought this system from mike and its so impressive out of the box......the stuff just looks and feels like quality built stuff and has proven itself so far

good luck

Boy, that's the truth!

The thing is, it's a WHOLE lot more affordable now than it was a year ago. Back then a top notch setup would cost you close to $1,000 -- and that was just motor, esc and batteries.

Very true. I think I will have spent about £290 when I have got everything, which isn't too bad really, as it should last a long time.

The stock setup on the E Revo and E maxx is pretty sad. They are geared to fry Nimh batteries and burn up in my opinion.

The Medusa Motors are great. Grab yourself a 36-70-2000kv along with the heatsink, put it on 4S and go.

Great setup!

I'm running both the 1500kv and the 2000kv in the 60mm can and couldn't be more pleased. Both pushing around an Emaxx and an E Revo.

I'm waiting for the stock to show up on the 70mm and the 80mm versions. I have to give those a try also.
