Medusa Motor ??

Will a Medusa 36-50-2000kv work well in a Mugen MBX5?

Thanks!

Thanks!

I would go with the 6omm motor. I ran a 1500kv 60mm in my hyper8 buggy and it worked great.

I have tested both the 50 and 60 mm's on 1600 kv with 5 and 6s on a OT Fusion 8ight (mechanical breaks). Both run good, buth i would definatly choose for the 60 mm. Will do its work also good on a MBX5 for sure.

Next to that I also compared the 1600kv on 5&6s and 2000 kv on 4&5s. I prefer the 1600 kv over the 2000 kv.

I am now doing testruns with the 60 mm and a 70 plus 80 mm prototypes 1600kv on a OT Fusion 8ight-T. First run with the 80 mm was very promising. Will probably be a great one for truggies. Expect the same for 70mm for truggies. Wires of the 70 and 80 mm are coming out of the side of the motor. Nice improvement.

I recieved an email today from Medusa announcing the release of the 70 and 80mm afterburner motors. I would be very interested in your results from the truggy, with the 80mm.

At sunday I will run the 80 mm at a race. It is a 3 x 21 minutes race. I will have a blackbox logging all data. My son will race also and will run a neu 1515/2.5d also all data will be logged. Truggies are the same, both OT Fusion 8-T. Both are the only brushless in that race.
OT Fusion 8-T's are prototypes brushless designed by Fioroni (Italy). By Vittorio Moroni himself. Vittorio is the name behind the buggies that wonn the worlds in 2004 and 2006. Last one was offcourse the MP777 of Pavidis. He did & was in charge of the pitwork for Pavidis in Jakarta also. Design & layout of his brushless line is completely different from what is offered by others like rc-design, losi (8-e), tekno and can be found as projects on fora like this one. I have run the tekno v3 8ight, Losi 8-E and a homemade conversion based on the parts monster-mike offers. Definitely like the Fioroni conversion. Vittorio did again a great job. It handles exactly as my nitro-8igth.

I am not allowed to show pictures of the OT-conversion at this moment. Presentation (+introduction) is planned for november at the 'Arena' in Italy (a Indoor event with > 300 drivers). Films of racing the proto's are however allowed and first will be shot the coming weekend. Conversion's (typical Fioroni style design's and everything made of 7075 alloy) for 8ight, 8igth-t, MBX5(R), RC8, RC8-T, MP777, XB808 and MBX6 can be expected next month.

I'm running a 36-60 2000 in my MBX6 (& before in the MBX5) on 5S A123's (which is like 4S lipo). Works great, pleanty o power.

It'is for sure pleanty of power and will work great. Same for the 1600 on 5 & 6s lipo.
I prefer a setup with the 36-60-1600 on a higher voltage over a 2000 because that setup is more efficiënt (les A draw needed for the same power) and runs cooler.

Njord please tell us all what you think of the medusa 70mm I'm really thinking about using it in a CRT b/c i love the 36-60-2000 in my buggy. And I think I'll go with the 36-70-2000 b/c I only have 4s lipos. Sound Right?

For a good answer I want to taste the pudding before. If have planned a run the 36-70-1600 and 36-80-1600 for next week monday. Both with the same ESC (MGM Z 16025-3) & blackbox.
The 36-70-2000 will have a higher peak A than the the 36-60. If your ESC can handle it my first thoughts/feelings are that it sounds OK.
I'll post foto's of the motors tomorrow.

Sweet thanks running the tests on these motors and providing pictures for us.

Did you ever get a chance to run those motors or take any pics?
