turn equiv for a medusa 36x50mm 4800kv motor?
 

Anyone have any thoughts on what the turn equiv for this motor would be? I know the tekin's of similar size and kv rating would put this at a 10.5 or a 10t... but I really am not sure.

Medusa v2 afterburner 36mm x 50mm 4800kv

the 4800kv Medusa would be more like an 8.5 or even a 7.5....

Is there a chart, how would i find out for sure? The tekin is a 10.5 is a 4400kv and of similar size, granted it's what is inside that counts :)

I know where your going with this Brian! It's not a fair comparison at all though, Medusa is a 4 pole motor the others are 2 pole. The Medusa will put out way more power than the others ever thought of. I would have to say the power potential of the 50mm Medusa is prolly close to that of one of the Novak 550 sized HV motors.

For everyone else I beleive Stum is bringing this up because the rules for 4x4 SC at the track we race at. They have said a 10.5 motor and 2s lipo max. IMHO these rules need to change. For one if I bought a 4x4 slash I would want to use the vilineon system that came in it, or at least the motor and put a MM on it. A 540 sized 10.5t motor just isn't u to the task of pushing a 4x4 sc truck, I beleive many who try will destroy their motors within 2 weeks of racing

Agreed.. most racers in the 4x4 class are now running the novak HV 4.5t's (550).. plenty of detail on this on the hyper 10sc and Jammin SCRT threads.. A few have gotten the 540's to hold up on little tracks or with really slow gearing.. but man I hate to waste 80 bucks on a new motor when I have two of these medusa's sitting here that are perfect for this size vehicle.

What exactly is the velineon considered anyway? It's not quite a 540 is it 550?, I've read it's about a 10t equiv, true?

The velineon is slightly larger than a Feigao S can IIRC. Comparing it to the S can kv values it would be a 10 turn, within 100 kv of each other.

I'm going to the open practice at CRC on April 10th, I hope to talk about this with them then. I wouldn't mind getting into a second class and I can pick up a slash 4x4 fairly cheap, or get one of the new rc10t4.1 brushless stdium trucks but in either class I want to run what comes in them, not have to go out and buy a new motor and possibly esc. Until things are figured out I will only be running 1/8 truggy. Commpletely re-built my truck in the last week! Pics are in my RC-M RC8T build thread in the truggy section
