Yes, I m using a medusa in fact it's better just remember not to set d punch to zero, no drag brakes n put a fan on the motor.

my batteries are not much strong on discharge capabilities and i really like the novak hv 5.5 sensored i´ve run on track...
now i am on a indecision in what motor to choose....
i still continue with novak, feigao or medusa in my mind....
but for 4 s and weak batteries and longer run times on track what you advise?

regards


you are what you race!!

I burnt 2 feigao they r cheap but 2 poles can't last in high temp. Medusa is a better n cheaper option compared to Neu. I race with my medusa n they hv lasted n r good in customer service.

I run 10mins heats n 30min mains no problem with my 4s 5000 zippy. How long r ur race n wat car r u using?

i run between 10 and 30 min too... do you notice better run times with the medusa then the feigao?
what medusa should i use in a e-revo?
i was thinking the 36-60- 2000 or 2200kv one... os good choice?

Run time will depend on the amp draw of the motor, weight, gearing n batt capacity. medusa runs cooler n last longer as the magnets n bearings are much better.

I will suggest 70mm rather than 60mm as it's stronger n able to run d truck with less effort. What batts are u running for ur race? That will determine wat motor u shld use.

I used to run 2000kv in heats then main change to 1600 but I found it too tiring. So I use 1600 now throughout n change gearing.

Heats I use 16Pinion with 4s 5000 n main I use 11pinion on 6s 5000 with 1 batt change

ERevo has 2 batt it will b slower to change batt so in main u must use high capacity batt n lower d gearing so the esc n motor will run cooler unless it's winter in your county.

Make sure ur packs are of the same age as in series d older/weaker pack will discharge faster leaving it overdischarge.

Wat batts u hv now n gearing? Is this ur first race?

i use 2s 2sp a123 4600mah batteries in serie and 7.4v lipo 8000mah 10c in serie too..
these last ones are weak in discharge force and heat a lot, the a123 are powerful and discharge is great too!!
i have to invest in more a123 or lipo, but since a few days ago one batterie explod right in front of my eyes maybe i will go to a123 again..
i will buy the neu or medusa or a new hobbywing complete combo, and in these case i stay with a spare esc.

thank´s and regards


you are what you race!!
