But I'm also having cogging issues that I'm having trouble fixing. Motor locks up some times while I'm coasting or braking. I'm still playing with speed controller settings to try to fix.
Hi Soldier,

I've been thinking about giving the Medusa Motors a shot myself. I want the 036-060-2000V2.

Set your ESC to Race Mode, Dynamic Torque, Inrunner Mode (seems to work better even with multipole motors), Normal Braking

In my opinion, you are undergeared.

In Mod 1 gearing with that motor I would go 14/40.

If you're going with the 32 pitch gearing, you probably need a smaller spur and a larger pinion.

You might also try a heat sink with a fan if you're worried about temps.

I've heard those motors are pretty mean.

They are supposed to come out with a 70mm can model. That should compete directly with the cc neu motors, price-wise. I will most likely try out both when they come out. I want a low kv long rotor motor to replace the 14xl in my savage. I have a mega 22/45 motor that I need t try.

Too many toys...

Thanks for the advice guys! I can't wait to try the new settings in my ESC!
