I ordered my 36-80 2200 Kv on October 27th, can't wait to get it.

Is it true that that 36-80 is basically Neu 1521 sized?

1521 = 83mm length, 39mm diameter (smooth can)

Medusa is 80mm in length, but 36mm in diameter.

I'd say the 36/80 was somewhere inbetween a 1515 and 1521 for power, closer to the 1515 probably. (1515 is 68mm in length and 39mm in diameter).

Just got a reply back from Medusa a few minutes ago regarding my preorder:

Okay, I guess the Thanksgiving holiday was not foreseen by the Medusa people.:no:

Patience is a virtue :wink:

I assume that means Mike will be getting them around that time too- gigiddy.

I think you mean gigiddy, gigiddy, goo.

OMG what is this Thanksgiving holiday you speak of?! :lol:

Yeah, I heard end of November from them. Hopefully this new date will hold.

... can't wait to try it out.

I E-Mailed Medusa about when they will be shipping and they said they had a machining problem with the mounting holes so they got delayed. Jeff Little said they will be shipping within 2 weeks :party:

Yeah, I called them this morning and was pretty much told the same thing. Also mentioned that those who pre-ordered through their web store will get the motors before distributors and vendors. And I am one of the first of those buyers :yipi:

Boo, you suck!

I can wait though- right now my fingers are frozen stiff so I couldnt operate the sticks on my radio if I wanted too...

Sour grapes, eh Neil? :lol:

You euros and your stick radios...

I'm another one of those early pre-order people :yipi: :party: :party: :party: I just hope my MGM is up to the task of handling my 80mm :oops:

So am I, naaaa, naaa, naa, naa, naaaaaaaaa :na:


Sticks? The only sticks I use are to throw for dogs or eat chinese food with!!! :rofl:

I enjoy using my thumbs, for lots of things... :wink:

Arg. I had hoped that they would be in the mail already so when I got back from my thanksgiving trip it'd be there waiting. Pewp.

Cant wait to get one. Bored of breaking these china-xl motors, 4th going now. :D

You've already spent the cost of a Medusa on those things :lol:

I've got a freebie 6XL in my Hyper 7, running it hard on 4s until it dies.

I sold my 10XL, so now I'm motorless :( Hopefully they will be here in the next week. Maybe I'll get lucky and my LHS will have rims for my RC10T4 so I can run that this coming weekend. =/

So.... any word on the arrival of these phantom 70mm and 80mm motors?:lol:

I see a few people pre-ordered them over 2 months ago....:whistle:

....but I have not seen anyone actually get one yet...other than mike...did I miss something?:neutral:

They should be shipping out on the 10th.

Hm, I did not get that info when I just called?

Nice. :O

Hope its same for the 70mm motors.

I dunno if i made a mistake by ordering the 70mm 2300kv for my brushless 1/8 buggy. Seems like the amp draw for 2200kv 80mm is about the same. But more power.

If you are pulling the same amount of amps for a given voltage, the power is the same.

The 70mm Medusa will do fine in a buggy. Many run the 60mm in a buggy with success - although i wouldn't unless it was really light (~7lbs).

Then you would hate to be me :whistle:. I have a 36-60-1600 in my ~10lb Jammin Truggy on 5s :party:.

He will only hate you if your running a FAN on it :na::lol:.

lol, I'm sure it works fine, I just wouldn't run it that's all.

And yes, if you were running a fan, I would REALLY hate it! :tongue:

Then you'd be happy to know the MMM on that truck is fan-less :yes:.

But back on topic, I can't wait for the 80mm Medusa I ordered to show up! My Savage hasn't been driven in about 3-4 months because the crap KD-36 went over 300 deg. and a Feigao 12XL met a similar fate.

Yeah I wan't an 80mm for my savage but at AU$250 for a motor I think I'll keep running my feigao until it smokes. Brian would hate my feigao too. It's running 2 fans

Hm, looks like the right hand over there doesn't know what the left hand's doing. :lol: Of course I'm looking for a 70mm 1600kv, but I sure wouldn't mind an early surprise!

They better to ship those motor tomorrow...
Im also missing motor, so I cant drive and i dont like to wait any longer.

Regarding Medusea 36-80 Preorders:
That email randomly showed up in my email inbox today, in addition to the email I received from them last week.

I got pretty much the same E-Mail from Jeff. I'll be ecstatic if mine ships out later today, I should have it by Monday or so and my Muggy will live again!

Hm. I've got no such email with my 70mm order. Maybe you 80mm guys are just lucky.

Got this email yesturday regarding my 70mm:

"We expect to start shipping next week.

Depending upon the number of pre-orders when an order will go out."

When on earth are these going to be shipping???

I got the screw holes email weeks ago.

Where are my motors????

Ah good, so there is at least some hope. Next week would be awesome.

You have to E-Mail them to find out. When I asked they said within 2 weeks, then they said Wednesday, now they're saying next week. I wish they would quit screwing us around and give us a definitive date. I don't care when it is (as long as it isn't next fall, then I'd cancel my order) I just wish they would give us the right date.
