Medusa Afterburner V2 BL motors

My 1600kv 70mm runs really cool because I haven't got it yet.

Not even a ship notification. Harumph!

I'm amazed you're running a 60mm on an erevo. You must've found the sweet spot for sure. I would have thought that wouldn't have been enough motor for that setup.

I also ran a 36-60-1500kv with a heat sink/fan setup. It was geared 18/40 Mod 1.

Alot of fun on 4S, 5S was crazy fast and 6S was pretty insane.

Ascheck was doing 55.7mph with the 36-60-2000kv on 6S in an E Revo. Ummm..Medusa heat sink and similiar gearing.

It has the Medusa heat sink on it. Today I tried 15/50 on 4s, lowest timing. Perfect speed wise, got me what I was looking for, but only 17 minutes (need 20 if I want to race). Temps were good too, 145 and 50 degrees outside. One other thing I'm wondering if 10/50 on 5s would be undergeared. Where I'm trying to get is when I ran my SC8 with a 1515/1/Y/F it was geared 13/54, I think.

I no longer have my SC8 and am not positive of the spur gear tooth count. The manual online shows it to be a 54 tooth spur. Since the SC8 and the D8 share the same diff gearing (43/10) and the same size tires the 2000kv geared the same on 5s would be perfect. The SC8 was crazy fast, ran 27 minutes on a Polyquest 5s 6000mah 25c and the motor maybe got to 120 degrees.

My 36-60-1600 on 5S in my 8T stays around 100 degrees and I get 22 mins of run time on a 4000MAH pack.

I am a firm believer about the low KV and high volts.

I run 15/45 Gearing.

Aren't the Medusas supposed to be set at middle timing since they are 2 pole motors? I forgot what Jeff(Medusa manager) told me last year when I had a 60mm but I think he said to run it with middle timing with the MMM. Anyon who can confirm this?

arnt medusa 4pole??

[George16]

Quoted from the Medusa motor manual. Yes they are 4 pole motors.

For the best efficiency, your ESC should be setup with 8º to 15º advance, and a switching rate of 10 to 20kHz.

Here's the link for the manual. It's on page 6.

So I take it to put the MMM at "Normal" timing? Need a handy trackside programmer.

New graphs, older ones were 1 min drive, these 20min. Well they are overwritten to the old post too:




Nice peak power. :)
Average amps even lower on the 20min timeline than on the first one minute.

[q8-maxx]
