Fiegao, Medusa, or Novak , which would be best? - 03.24.2010, 10:21 PM

I really need to figure out a Motor for my Maxxslash. To the best of my figuring it will come in at around 7-8lbs. I have a Quark 80b esc that I plan on running on 3 or 4s. Only looking for around 45 mph. Unfortunately price is an object.
So my choices I'm debating
Kershaw Revolver/Fiegao 9-11L , or possibly 8-9xl, $60
Novak HV6.5 $65
Medusa 36-50-2200 $90
Medusa 36-60-3100 $100
I'm also open to any other options I might be missing.
I'm not totally sure if the 50 would be enough, nor am I to happy with the 3100's kv.


If someone had a 36-60-2000 that they wanted to part with, I might be interested.

What happened to the trusty 36-60-2000 that you had?

Well , you see, I was an idiot. I sold it with my E-maxx last year . I thought, well it makes a descent little MT motor, but the CCneu kinda has that market cornered. Then thought it would be to big for 1/10 scale. Also Medusa had just gone out of business. But now Neu has even got some on their site.

Lesson learned, don't sell anything, RC related. Because you will need it again.

Out of the motors listed in the OP, I'd say the 60mm Medusa would be the best bet. The 50mm version would most likely work, but the larger one will not break a sweat and have more power than you'd ever need unless you are looking for insane speeds.

Well the 3100 won't work for me. I just checked the calculator and 12/54 gives me 75mph on 4s, I can't really gear much lower. Which would really limit me to 3s. HMM, I just looked at Neu , they have the Medusa 36-60-2200 in stock for $120. But then I could go with the Neu 1512 for $125. But the size of the Neu would limit gearing even further.... Oh, decisions, decisions. Perhaps I'll just gamble on the 36-50-2200. My 60 always did good in my E-revoand I was really trying to stay under 100.
