It would be awesome for a very efficient set up for sure. The 1600Kv version will be better suited for 10S speed runs.

Hey Luci , i am undecided on a 10s set up or trying my hand at the 2s record .Funny enough i just posted on your esc thread about the 200amp esc for this reason .

If i go 10s i'll look at the 80 1600kv , thanks .

same thing kv on 80mm!!
more torque is good!!!

[Raze ST Truggy]

Just put in a preorder for the 80mm 2000kv motor. It's either going into my revo or a e-raze st truggy conversion.

All I know is you better make your vehicle bullit proof to handle all the power a 10S speed set up will put out. I ran my BPP Truggy with 10S lipos and it was strong enough to mess all my diff internal gears.

Hey, a 2S lipos speed car is always welcomed as I'm feeling kind of lonely now that Nic didn't run his 2S car .

I just pre ordered a MEDUSA 2300kv 70mm motor . I plan on using this on 4s in my GTP . Will this be okay ?.

Peachy... with a RCM 4mm end plate you can use an RCM XL heatsink :)

Are you talking about the neu lehner plate. Does this motor need a clamp & end plate ?.

[Arct1k]

Not required for stopping the end bell from falling off like a Feigao and temps should be ok.

However it would help with stopping dirt from getting into the open end and would provide extra surface area for heat dissipation.

I run an S HS on my 50mm & mike ran a L on his 60mm - The XL would fit the 70mm perfectly with a neu front cover or be slightly too long 4mm without - Or you could use an L HS and have 10mm uncovered.

or you could just use a clip-on if required. Lots of options.

Well this well be on road so im not to sure there will be much if any dirt . I like the HS idea just not sure if the end plate is needed for on road .

So which one is better suited for a revo conversion on 4S?

36-70-2000

or

36-70-1600

I would go with the 70mm, especially if you paln to lock it in 2nd and use motor brakes.

[BrianG]

linc, both his suggestions were 70mm. He's probably asking which one.

On 4s, I'd go with the 2000.

If you're only going to run 4s the 2000 would probably be better. If you plan to step up to 5s or 6s go with the 1600.

I've already got a pre-order in for the 70mm and 80mm 2000 KV motors, 70mm for my Hyper and 80mm for my Muggy. I'm a little unsure about using Medusas instead of a Neu, I was sooo happy with my 1515 I don't know about the lower rating of the Medusas. I guess I'll find out.

I like longer motors because they generate more torque, the more torque you have the less work the motor has to do. The problem is that they also draw more amps so you have to balance the length, KV, your batteries voltage, the weight of the vehicle, etc. It drives me nuts trying to decide which motor I want.

Thanks Brian.

James, I received the Tekno revo conversion last Friday. I'm going to keep the other revo nitro while the 2nd one will be running the Medusa 36-70-2000 on 4S with the MMM V3 (whenever I received the replacement for my V2.

The gmaxx will be my 6S setup with the Neu 1515 1Y and Luciano's 6S ESC which I received today.
