This seems to fall in line with my phone call to them which resulted in not much information either.

A bit lame really. Most people on here wouldn't mind waiting a few extra weeks/months if they were told the reason for the delay and given an approximate ETA. Being told dates, then having them pushed back for no given reason is just not cricket.

I put my order in the other day, but seeing how long some people have been waiting, perhaps I should have spent my money on a Neu. It would probably be hand made and delivered before my Medusa gets here (if it ever does....) lol :D

Here's hoping it arrives before Christmas... 2008.

Don't say the word Christmas, it will be the next reason for a delay.

I just had an overwhelming sense of deja vu. :lol:

I will let the picture talk...........:wink:

Looks nice.

speedracer1129, did they bill your credit card/paypal before they shipped your motors?
Because I pre-ordered my Medusa 36-80 on October 27th and in my bank account summary there is absolutely no record of any charge from Medusa.
And right after I ordered my motor I got the email saying I had ordered it and it was the invoice, then shortly after I got another email saying something about it being on back-order, maybe this was because I pre-ordered it?

Here is a copy of both of the emails -

Thank you.



And I have never received any other emails from them since.

Hmm, should be there soon.

Nice! Mine should be here very soon, I got my order in really early.

Hmmmm, I hope mine get here soon too.

That looks HUGE over the 60mm, if that is one. What one did you get?

Krawlin, I preordered mine on oct. 14 and they charged my account that day. I payed with paypal though.

Still waiting on mine.

Do you think the medusa 4800 v2 will work in a slash with the mamba max esc.

Should work fine on both 2s and 3s. It'll be rough on parts but it'll be plenty powerful.

How does the Medusa 4800 compare to the castle 5700 power wise.

Medusa is 4 pole, cc5700 is 2 pole, so you get alot more torque with the M.

4800kv vs 5700kv so the castle motor will be faster on the same voltage, but you would use the extra torque of the Medusa to let you gear taller with less heat to worry about in principle. Depends which vehicle you stick the motor in, and which size motor you choose exactly as the cc36 motors are only S can really.

Medusa motors also have longer rotors and coils, giving them more torque. Mamba motors are good, but it depends on what you're going to put it in.

Anyone one had a chance to run the 80mm yet? How do they compare to an equivalent kv rated Feigao XL. Especially temps wise.

As stated above, the CC motors have shorter coil area than the 50mm Medusa. The Medusa coils leave about 5-8mm on each end of the case, whereas the CC motors leave about 20mm on one end (room for the connection between the coil wires and the noodle wire) and 5-8mm on the other. So, the CC is kinda a "sub-S" motor. :smile:

Other differences:

Medusa = 4 pole, CC = 2 pole (as you said)
Medusa = slotted stator, CC = slotless stator

Bleedin' know-it-all.. :wink:

If Im right in guessing that this is an enguiry for the Slash's ideal motor, I'd say the medusa 50 or 60mm motor is plenty really.

Every place has at least one! :wink:

My Slash had a 5700 running on 10 cells (geared 58/13) and it got kinda hot running it for the ~15 minutes the batteries would last. I recently got a Medusa 36-50-2200 and will run that on 4s 5Ah cells, but am still waiting for other parts to finish it. Once they do, I can get results, but I anticipate good things...

I am really hoping too get an 80mm, either 2200kv or 2000kv. Probably for my 8t. Maybe I will get one for the muggy instead of the 1521, much better price and not 2900/1900 kv which is nice.

Wow, that's a big pack for a Slash on a 36-50. I'll be running a PolyRC 4S 3700mAh pack in mine on a 36-60-2000 geared for about 43-45mph. I don't expect huge runtimes, but I do hope it will be a bit more agile with a lighter battery pack.

I emailed them yesterday asking when they expected too start shipping normal, non- pre-orders and I recieved the same next week due too the machining mishap or whatever. Yeah I wish there was a solid date.

Yeah, it is a rather large pack I suppose. I rewired two seperate 2s packs into one 4s pack because those 2s packs weren't really doing it for me in anything but the jato. I figure I can get a ton of runtime with the relatively HV on a moderate motor geared moderately. And being MA packs, I'm sure they will work much better on a low current draw setup.

This is a good thing :yes:. Just got this email 15mins ago!

Woot... Just got off the phone with Medusa and the lady said that my 70mm 2K motor is in the other room being soldered with the wires I requested and that it should be shipped either today or tomorrow. :mdr:

I have just received good information from Medusa. :party:

I will finally be able to finish my HB LSP conversion :yipi:

You'll be really impressed with that setup, I tried it out geared 9/40 (mod 1 gears) and it was ridiculous. Went back down to 3s, it's a little more controllable now.

Arg. You guys are killing me! :)

However, they shipped it to my old address. I need to call them tonight.

Woho, mine too
"YOUR MEDUSA ORDER HAS SHIPPED"

I took EMS, wonder if I get it for christmas. :O Takes a while to come here (Finland) anyways.

I called Medusa this morning after reading how you have got mail notifications. I placed my order 10/16/08. I was told that my order for the 36-70-2000 was on top of the "to be shipped" pile and they are waiting for more of those motors to arrive. Will probably get mine after Christmas they say. Oh well.

Hey guys, I thought I would share this info. I tested for curiosity a Medusa 50mm 3300kv on 5S in my Losi 8T with high speed gearing. I was able to push it past 70 and the motor ran cool for about 8-10 passes of about 1000 feet so if you are wondering about the 70 or 80 cans I think you will have nothing to worry about!

where do you get your gps or radar guns?....i want to buy some just like them to boost my moral:sarcastic:

It is usually the people that can not accomplish things that make these comments......

I guess I painted the 70mph on the radar when my Inferno GT on 4S went by!
