Motor selection for Slayer

The 50mm Medusa will be plenty if you keep the 2-speed and mechanical brakes. I ran a 50mm 2200 in my Revo and in my Losi 8ight buggy and it worked great. If you wanna go Neu I'd say the 1509 would be the ticket.

Wow the 50 was alright with that set up , i'm quite shocked but thats good news .
What batteries and esc did you use in that set up .

I ran the Tekno RC conversion, 4s 16c Hyperion 5350mah battery, MM with Castle BEC. The Medusa's are good motors, the only negative i have to say about them is I have had the endbell pop off on me. Not that big of a deal, the older version of the Neus were subject to that too. I just put it back on and ran a bead of CA around it, no more problems.

What do you all think of the gearing change in doing a Revo 2.5 -> Slayer conversion? To do it right would require new tranny case and gears as Traxxas changed the gear ratio to accomodate the shorter tires.

Would it be possible to stay with the Revo tranny and gear the spur/pinion accordingly?
