Slash guy looking for some direction
 

I got a Slash and want to go BL with it. I already have 2 2s 5000mah packs and would like to get a 3s pack too.

With that being said, what would be a good motor/ESC combo to run in it to achieve a good 45-50mph if desired and still be cool and efficient?

I was looking into the MM and a 5700 motor but from the reading I have done I hear it sounds like there could be some heat issues with it possibly.

Also what would be a good gearing to run on this that will work with 2s and 3s and still keep me within my parameters?

Thanks guys!

The MM will be a great esc for you! As for the motor choice try a Medusa 36-50-3300, it's available with a 1/8" shaft so you can keep your stock gearing setup. The Medusas are very good motors and will run cool. 3300kv should get you 40 on 2s and if you bump it up to 3s it would be a rocket!

as above

Thanks guys. I knew I could count on some good info here!!

How does this Medusa compare to a Castle or a Velineon motor??

The medusa will run way cooler than either and be able to pull higher gearing than either without heating up as much. The Castle 36 mm motors have small rotors as does the velineon. A MM/Medusa combo will cost a bit more but will outlast either by far!

Thanks for the reply. So what gearing would you recommend? Something I am able to run 2s or 3s in without changing gearing.

76/25 will get you about 37-38 on 2s and about 56 on 3s. Thats very fast for a slash! I would try 83/25 esspecially if your gonna run 3s alot. BrianG's calculator is a valuable tool!

Any other place to buy this motor other than Impakt? The 3300 is out of stock I see there.

Also will the motor bolt right up with no mods?

Thanks

Mike sells them here! As long as you get the 3mm shaft version it will bolt right up. If Mike doesn't have them in stock send him an e-mail. As a last resort you can order right from Medusa but try supporting Mike first! He will give you a good price on it and even if it's a dollar or two more your helping support this forum!

Excellent! Thanks

Yes just checked that out. What bullet connectors size should I get? I know I ran the 6.5mm on my E Revo. I was thinking 4.5 or the 5.5. 6.5mm would probably be a little overkill. Would be ran in conjunction with the MM.

4mm is what comes on the MM controllers

So I will just need the females for the motor then.
