Medusa Afterburner V2 BL motors

[_paralyzed_]

I definately will, it's setup for midmorning june 28th, I signed up at the traxxas website just for the info. I'll start a thread in general discussion, hopefully we can get more rcm alumni interested, be able to show the traxxas kiddies what r/c is about

Any new info about Medusas?

I have also read topic "Medusa 36-50-3300 Vs. Ammo 36-50-3300" and Medusa 36-60-2000 seems perfect due to cost effectivness to put into 1/8 buggy with MMM and 6S A123 :)

I'm going to be running mine this weekend since I'm now done with finals.:)

I have a 50mm 4800kv that's going into a Rustler; it's pretty hot now that summer is starting to creep up on us, so it should be interesting to see how the motor performs.

My 36-50-3300 is stilll doing well in the E-maxx.. If I end up getting a MMM I will probably move up to 36-60-2000 in the Maxx with 6s a123.

I cant believe how cool my 36-50 runs in the Maxx I was really expecting temps to be in the 150-160 range but I have yet to see it over 116F after a bash.

Sweet, how do yuo have it geared/voltage? (I loose track of all these threads with the info in them already...).

I'm running 5s A123 with 15t/68t gears on the 3905 tranny. I was radar gunned at 42mph through grass so it scoots right along. Not as much torque as the Feigao XL vids I see around but it's a small motor.

I can safely say that the 35/60/1500 motor in my hyper 8 on 6s lipo makes tons of power and runs cool. Much better than the align 600xl, and runs faster on the same gearing despite the lower kv. I will run it tomorrow and get some measured runtimes and temps.

That sounds good.

Yep. Some a-hole out bid me on a 600xl I wanted- they needed it more than me Im guessing, lol. Might try a medusa, or mega- ImpaktRc has just about every BL motor under the sun, looks like Lincs workshop....

Well, I would say that compared to the medusa the align motors are a waste of time. I have ran both the l and xl and they are just too slow on spool up, and do not seems to run much cooler than their inrunner counterparts. I did not find that they could handle taller gearing any better either. I need to get my hands on a mega motor and see how they compare to the medusa. Medusa seems to be very similar inside to my plett maxximum. I need to run the buggy more and see how it does.

I want a large Mega now also, I have a 16/15/3 in my MQ SE and it's been great. The open front worries me a bit on the 22 series. Just ordered a Mamba Monster so now I'm looking at 2000kv motors. ACN22/35/1E or MR036-60-2000V2-5, Medusa is less money and a U.S. based buisness. I would like to try a Mega but I think I'll end up getting another Medusa unless I can find a used Mega for a good price from a reliable trader.

Got a vid of my Medusa powered 3905 today.

That is nice. Have you ever had the thought of making a track? I wish I had all that space to drive my R/Cs.

Wow. That's pretty powerful buzzsaw. Impressive since it's only a 50mm motor.

I can't wait to try my medusa tomorrow in my Rustler...:D (It's all hooked up and rarin' to go; just gotta charge the 2s and I'm in business!)

Good luck Joe!! As you can see mine runs good, nice and cool! Feels alot like my FLM EXT on an OS.18. Not quite as good as the EXT with the ported S-25;) MambaMonster is ordered to resolve that.

Yes on the track lutach, I've cut down about probably 80-90 trees getting ready so far have another 60-70 left to get rid of, pesky little box elder trees.
