Tell me about Medusa motors for 1/8th

I got 160 degrees on my 36-60-2000 when running without the heatsink, is that normal? Never topped 130 with the heatsink on, should it make THAT much difference?

If the set ups are the same, the heat sink will make a big difference.

What is your set up, more info could be helpful in possibly lowering temps. even further.

[Raze ST Truggy]

I just got my Raze Buggy running this week and it has a 36-60-2000 Medusa in it that I will be testing a few differnt esc's, batteries, and gearing with. I'm going to keep the gearing for ~40mph maybe 45mph (maybe a few speed runs if the motor stays happy) and check temps all around. I don't yet have an eagle tree setup, but will soon.

Right now I've ran the buggy on 5S and 6S lipo with temps no higher than 110f on 6S after a 10-12min run of mostly WFO (for those that don't know that mean full throtle ).

ESC's I'll be running it with are the typical MM/ bec on 4S, MMM on 4S -6S, and a hobby wing 80a on 4S.
