Post your Medusa setup here

[sikeston34m]

Let's have a thread where we post information about our Medusa setups.

It can be anything with a Medusa Motor.

Please post size and kv of motor, ESC, gearing, battery configuration and any other important information.

I'll go first.

E Revo
MMM
Medusa 36-60-2000kv using a Novak Heatsink
Gearing 18/52 Mod 1
5000mah 20C 4S Lipos

[BrianG]

XRay XT8
MMM
Medusa 36-80-2000 - no heatsink (yet - until Mike finishes his new ones)
Gearing 48/12 Mod1
5Ah 25C 5s lipo

[lincpimp]

Hyper 8 buggy
36 60mm 1600kv v2
14/46 gearing
crimefighters
quark 125b (may swap to MMM)
6s 2170 fp 25c lipos

Runs a bit warm, close to 160f on the motor. I may go up to a 15t and see if that helps. The quark stays cool, but one of them poofed so I may swap to the MMM. And it will look cleaner without the ccbec and related wiring.

what kind of run time were you getting with the 6s 2170 packs and did you have any problems with lack of amperage with the setup? I am planning on setting up a truggy with a leftover Neu 1515/2.5d with a 6s 3700 25c pack and have also thought of the 6s 2500 packs Mike sells.....trying to get an idea on things

Moi:
11lb RTR hyper ST
Medusa 36-70-1600
MMM
neuenergy 6s 4900 25c lipos

[MetalMan]

Jammin X1-CRT truggy
36-60-1600
14/46 (diff ratio of 13/43)
MMM V3
5s 4800mah or 5s 5000mah, both 20C
Motor doesn't exceed 160 deg. F, and is typically around 140.

Losi Muggy

12/46
LT10s120a
8s 3300mah 25C, pq
RTR weight: 5.6kgs / 12.3lbs
Motor gets to 180f / 80c pretty quick. I only ran this setup once. Esc and batteries got warm too. Put this motor in because I was tired of waiting for the 80mm's. Right now my 36-80-1100 should be somewhere over the Atlantic....

Would it be possible to you, to add some ESC setups also, like advance etc... ??
Im just testing, what setup would be good, advance 10 or 12 and start power med or high, using MMM.
My setup is:
Hyper ST Pro
MMM
Medusa V2 2200kv 80mm with RCM XL-heatsink
2x 4800mah 25C 4S Zippy-R in parrel
gearing 14/52

[Matthew_Armeni]

Losi 8ight B
Tekno Conversion
weight-8lbs RTR
MMM
Medusa 60-2200
13/48 or 14/48 depending on track
4s- Hyperion 5350 16c, Neu 5000 25c, Fully Maxx 4400 35c
Temps- Haven't seen over 160, mostly 140
Runtime- 15min mains at ARC Raceway (no warm-ups)
MMM settings- everything low or lowest, linear graph, 30% punch, no expo, no brakes

Also ran the 50-2200 for a while and it worked just fine, the 60 just has more power and snap.

[t-mange]

My setup:

Hyper 8.5
MedUsa 36-70-1600 V2
Rhino 5s 4900mah 20c
Gearing 15/46, I can gear higher if i want more speed, but I don´t
MMM settings, High start power, 100% punch control, lowest timing.
Everything runs cool, i have yet to reach 77F

Runtime depends but i get an easy 20 min run on it, maybe even 25-30 min.
