Choosing motor... alternatives?

[brushlessboy16]

The motors are 42mm, and they do have the same rotor size, the fins are smaller.

What are you using the truggy for? Bashing, speed runs or racing? If it's racing The 60mm Medusa would even do. Mike was running a 60mm Medusa in his E-REVO last I heard and thats not a light truck either. For bashing or a mix of everything the 70mm would prolly be a better bet, but for all out speed runs while maintaining good temps go with the 80mm. As Arct1k said the CC/neus will be close to the same price but currently the best bang for your buck goes to Medusa. I've had no stripped threads on my Medusa, choose the proper length screw, apply a drop of loktite, and tighten down. No need to put a 4' pipe on the end of the allen wrench

Ill think I go for 80mm just in case. Just to make sure there is "enought" power.
Use would be bashing on yard and some bashing on race track.

Off-topic: How much does your hyper st weigh without batteries?

[Jabe]

3,9kg with tires, with batteries 5kg.
And thats without motor. Tires weight 870g.

Mine is 3.99kg without batteries, but with motor.

i tightened mine down, then i needed to change the pinion, unloosened it, when to tighten it back up, never even got snug, the taps they used are junk, i know of 6 medusas being used at the moment locally, including the one i had, and 5 stripped the threads out, that or they move because of undertightening, maybe we just all got unluckey!

You dont have mechanical brakes, thats why...
And those other tires are 50g lighter, for set.
My car should be balanced fairly, as those servos and MMM weights ~350g, and that Medusa is 400g + cooling fin and front adapter.

That's pretty good, my CRT weighs bang on 5kg with everything, including mechanical brakes.

I borrowed the MM from my mate to use this w/e.
My 6 still haven't turned up. :-(





Ooops, sorry, didn't mean to hijack.
