Are they really going to make a 70 version? I was going to et the 36-60-1500, but now I'll wait and see if the 70 will come out.

Thank you sir. I really didn't see that. The 1600 will be a perfect choice for me for my 6S applications.

I got what was available at the time. And like I said... some swear that the 50mm is good for a buggy so that's why I got one.

Remember, I have only run it once, without changing gearing, and it was not on the track where I normally judge things.

I have always subscribed to the low kv and similar or taller gearing than stock (nitro) gearing. I don't plan to treat these motors any different... so I have a basis to compare.

I'm recommending to others that they run the 2200kv on 4s with a lower gearing, if they want the 50mm.

Right now the 60-2000 is the best bet, imo... and is very similar to what I have been running. I'm going to get one soon to test myself. The 2000kv on 4s has a very similar rpm as a 1300kv on 6s. That's another reason why I choose the 50-1300.

Anyway... I need to get to the track someday....

I just got my 36-50-2200 in today. I like it better then the mega I had. Granted they both had different Kv(mega 3500) but the medusa seemed to draw less amps and ran incredible cool(never even broke 100 on 4S). I will know thursday whether it is faster then the mega. All around it just seems smoother and less touchy. Sorry no proof just my opinion.

What are you running it in?

Is the 50mm version good for say an emaxx or should I do the 60mm?

speed demon · 05.28.2008, 07:36 PM

Running it in a rustler. As for your question I'm keeping my mouth shut...there are a butt load more qualified guys on here to answer that.

I'm short one motor right now since I've been waiting 2 months for a 1515/1Y to come into my LHS. I just ordered a 36x50 2200 v2. Hopefully it is in stock and ships out soon so I can finally get my buggy running.

It may have already been answered but how does this run on the Mamba Max with latest firmware being a 4-pole motor? Is it good enough to get by until the MMM's become stable and readily available?

highflier · 05.28.2008, 10:09 PM

I am not sure I am qualified to answer the question.. But I have a e-maxx and run 6s A123's I selected the 36-60 1600 V2. Although I really wanted to get the 2000KV motor but others had advised me out of that choice.

The Neu motors run pretty well now with both MM and MMM

Emaxx has more gear reduction in the tranny than the 1/8 vehicles.. so that's why people tend to run higher kv with it. But it's all about the final drive ratio/roll out. Lock it in second or run a big pinion, etc....

Cain, depending on what you do with the truck, a 50mm might work. But I'm thinking the 60mm is a much better choice in most cases.

I don't think we really have a grasp on these motors yet... we need more people to run and report. :)

Yes the 50mm will power an E-maxx, very well in fact but I do like my 60mm a bit better. I am now thinking about getting a 70-75mm just to know what each is like.

If you do decide to go with a 50mm get a higher Kv than is normal, and gear down. Let the motor spin and the gears produce the torque.

I'm seriously considering getting one of these. I'm currently running a 10XL, so the 36-60-1600v2 would be pretty much a direct replacement. Of course, they are backordered. The 4 pole and efficiency are what attract me to it, and the price isn't half bad either. I'd love to run one of the castle neu's, but at 2200Kv, that's just spinning too fast for a 6S setup. I'd prefer my rides not to sound like a dentist's drill whizzing by.

I'm wondering if the 1500kv setup woudn't be a bad one? Gearing up shouldn't be a problem. Max rpm would be around 29,000 rpm. Seems kinda on the low side, but I guess being a 4 pole that isn't that low?

Cain · 05.29.2008, 09:20 AM

There is a nice speed chart out there. I used that to determine what pinion I should get for my Emaxx and the Neu 1512 2.5D . The vehicle last night during my initial tests was insanely fast. If the Mamba Monster can stay together, got a real winner here.

I wil most likely go with a 60mm version for sure then of a Medusa when they come in stock.

highflier · 05.29.2008, 10:44 AM

They are taking orders I had a e-mail straight from Medusa saying they were coming in and to order now.

I ordered the 36-60 1600 V2

The XL is 74 mm though. That's why I got excited at the news of a 70 mm Medusa coming. A quality affordable alternative.
