Gave it a run today using the Medusa 36-60-2000 geared 15/40 with a normal gear set and had the two speed set to almost immediate change to 2nd.

SLOW!

I think top speed would be lucky to hit 30? Is this more of a 5s set up? Can I gear this or the NEU 1515 2D to run on 4s?

Temps were all fine, and the Clutch got to 150 max (so not sure why people are having clutch issues) Didn't have much of a tendancy to lift the front end up either.

I like the feel of it, coming from using a Baja for over a year, this is a lot more predictable for me.

The Medusa I usually run under a fan will the Neu motor I have have more torque and will it be comfortable geared say 18/36 with a wide ratio set without a fan?

Thanks to those who have chimed in so far, but not getting a lot of feedback on gearing which is my concern at the moment.
