Oh, and in other news, my Medusa 4800kv 50mm motor is holding up superbly to 27/87 gearing in my Rustler. Motor doesn't dare go over about 135F in the middle of the day (last week it was around 95 according to my truck's temperature sensor I think? And MAN, it felt like it big time- heat index was above 100 easy).
Thanks for that update.I've been comparing what your saying to my experience with the Novak 4.5 that I run in my Stampede.Since they are both 4800kv motor I find the comparison quite interesting.I can run lower voltage(2s) and never break 110* with 24/84 gearing and mashers.I usually run 3s though.With 3s lipo and 31/76 gearing the motor gets to about125*.Thats with temps in the 70,s though.So now my interest has been peaked about running my 4.5 in my maxx on 3s.Or go ahead and get a 50-3300.Boy what a hard decision.
