Well I finally got the opportunity to test a Medusa V2 36mm-60mm-2200Kv motor. I shouldn't be surprised after all the testing I did in the Yusa with the shorter 50mm, but wow what a huge difference.

This thing rocked my Losi 8. Now Medusa has the 70mm and 80mm, after what this thing delivered, I am not sure you would even really need that power unless you were really pushing things.

Glad it performed well for you. What kinds temps and runtimes were you getting with your setup (which was?)?

Nice, what temps/runtimes did you get? And what battery and esc were you using?

If I'm not mistaken, I think I see a MM heatsink peeking out of that box.

MM ESC in a custom milled (Proxxon again) Losi battery box.

I have not done any temping yet, if it passes the 5 second rule I don't worry about it. I ususally run a single 5k-6K 4S MaxAmps or PolyQuest/Enerland pack.

Looks sweet, top work

Fair enough. Funny, that esc box and fan looks like a prototype for the B.F.ESC that castle are planning- giant plastic moulded case with cooling vents and integral fan... (well, made me laugh a little anyway).
