So anybody tried running the Medusa 80mm 2000kv motor? Any good or bad things for this motor. I'll be putting this on the Lst2, maybe 6S on MMM V3. thanks.

Probably wrong thread but maybe someone with more knowledge and experience can answer this. What would be a more efficient motor, Medusa 60mm 2000kv or Tekno Neu 1515/1/Y/F (2200kv)? Medusa geared with a 15 tooth pinion, Neu with a 13 tooth pinion on 4s.

They are both pretty efficient motors. It depends on the vehicle as to what would be more efficient. The Neu 1515 series much bihher than a 60mm Medusa. That 60mm Medusa would prolly be more efficient in a buggy than the Neu, but in a truggy or MT the Neu would be more efficient because of it's larger size giving more torque to move a heavier vehicle.

Ok, thanks. I have ran about five packs on the Medusa and love it. Now to find a 5s that will give me 20 minutes and fit under the D8 body. I'm thinking the Hyperion 4350mah would be enough, but not sure. My Polyquest 4s 6000mah gives exactly 20 minutes.

Thanks for the info unsullied Spy. I have a 1527 1D 2200kv Neu but have problems with ESC burning up, Now I bought a 22418 MGM but I'd like to put a MMM and the 80 mm Medusa in it.

No prob. 1Ds typically pull a lot of amps. It's best to go as low of KV as you can and run higher voltage. Your ESC will handle 6s, so a 1600KV would be best. The 2000KV motor is fine, but the 1600 will run cooler and pull fewer amps. I had a 1515 1.5D in my Muggy and it pulled a ton of amps, I could thermal my 16018 in just a few minutes if I pushed it hard enough.

What sort of amps are we talking about, for the 2000kv 80mm medusa on 6s? I've got one of those ordered, but I'm going for longer run times, not crazy insane speed, so should I see if Medusa can change it to a 1600kv?

I run the 80mm in my Muggy and it's insane. You may have problems snapping tranny pins in the LST2, it is really powerful. It is definitely powerful, I'm going to gear mine down a bit to keep the amp draw down though. My MGM 16018 gets a little warm with this motor.
