Medusa Afterburner V2 BL motors

[George16]

For the money, the Medusa is the better choice imo.

I have a TeknoRC Neu 1515 1Y running on 5S on my ST-RR and a Medusa 36-70-2000Kv running on 5S on my convertd revo. The performance difference between is pretty much negligible. I don't have an Eagle tree to back up my experience but it is how I felt when running both trucks in the soccer field on the same afternoon (swapping trucks with my 8-year old son). Temps were very nice. It was actually running cooler than the Tekno Neu due to the bigger holes in front of the Medusa motor. Highest temp was 120F on the Medusa while the Nue was 132F.

After 10min of driving on a track today the 70mm 2300kv motor temp was only 35C (95F). But my zippy is dying since it got some damage last time so I stopped driving, it was 47C. ;p

Took a little video too http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SkauGYdagKU

FINALLY!!!! I got the email that my Medusa'a are on their way.

Should have them next week sometime..............I hope.

Ok, I think I got my buggy gearing right for the 36-60-2000kv motor. 15/48, with 43/10 diff's. This motor was amazing on the track on 5s. Timing set to normal, but I only got 15 minutes. I'm shooting for twenty and it could be a touch slower so I will set the timing to lowest and see where the runtime and temps are. Over half the price of a NEU, I'll take two more please.

I got it, and it's IN!

Works great, I like it much better than the Feigao. Significantly more efficient, judging by how many milliamps I used for my run. I think this is the beginning of a beautiful relationship!

Oh and it's a 1600kv 70mm on 6S A123.

Nice, could you post bigger pics, cant see numbers in those? :) And when zoomed the numbers are blurry. Would be interesting to see them compared to mine.

Yeah the forum here resizes the poo out of anything that you post as an attachment. Here's another version:

Dumb question...it's ok to direct solder these motors, yes?

[MTBikerTim]

Anyone know when more 80mm are going to be shipping? I'm really keen.

I ordered mine on the 11th of Dec. Patiently waiting for mine, from this thread it looks like people who ordered before Dec are getting their shipping notices, so I guess I am moving forward in the queue.

I called them and spoke to Jeff, hea said they were having problems
with the magnets on the 80 mm motor. He said they will have to fix
the problem. It could be a couple of weeks before they start
receiving more motor.

This problem wouldn't be in the older motors as well, would it?

[transtalon]

I'm not sure about the older ones, I know he specified the 80 mm
motors that they tested before getting shipped to the rightfull
owners. I'm glad they checked them before shipping it out.

Oh well, good things come to those that wait right?



...Right?

[Unsullied_Spy]

It's definitely nice to know they tested them. My 80mm has a couple hours of use on it already and it's working VERY well.
