Medusa 2000 in Erevo -
06.20.2008, 08:53 PM
First run,hit 48 mph.On 4s lipo geared 24/58.( I was aiming for 43,guess the tires ballooned a little extra)But neither the Quark 80 or the Medusa liked it after about 15minutes.Motor was 158,esc only read 140,but the little red light was flashing and it put the brakes on?????.It was 85 outside and I was running hard so all and all not horrible.I'm waiting on my 20tooth pinion to show so I'll probably just throw the 68 spur on if it will fit.That should gear me to 38+ so I'd imagine it will be okay.Then I'm gonna throw some more voltage at it and see how that goes.I like the motor as long as I get the temps steady,which going from this run shouldn't be a problem.But it could use more torque.It's at least not overpowered yet.
So Next run,Geared 68/24 had to mod the motor mount but it worked. Went 5s but they are little 4000mah hecell.Hit 47 mph,motor 140 ,esc 125, batts 97.A little shorter run but wot alot.Much more torque.Wheelies at about 30.I bet if they were a good 5s I would be over 50.I'll find out tomorrow how it really does bashing.But so far I'm thinking it's a good combo.Basically it looks like it should do what I want.40ish on 4 ,50ish on 5 and 60ish on 6.Though I bet the esc wouldn't like 6 to much.
