gogglespaesano · **80mm medusa -** 01.19.2009, 12:52 AM

I am planning on running a 80mm 2000kv medusa on 4s in a truggy that weighs in around 8lbs. I know that the motor is overkill for this truck, but it's what I've got and the wife isn't gonna stand for another motor. According to BrianG's calc, it is geared for about 38mph. I'll be running the smallest pinion I can and I can only go up 1 tooth on the spur.

My question is, any issues with running a way oversized motor other than trying to keep the front wheels on the ground?
