E Revo - MMM/Medusa 36-60-1500kv setup

Looks beastly!

I decided to make a run this morning on 4S. I was thinking "Wow, this is really doggy compared to the 6S."

Then I hit WOT in reverse for a few seconds and noticed it was much more powerful. Duh!

Now I feel stupid. The Throttle Channel on the Radio was reversed and it was running around programmed for 50% Reverse.

After swapping two motor wires and reversing the Throttle Channel, things REALLY came to life! Perfect on 4S! Motor temps well in hand with the fan/heat sink, but now the fan on the ESC was cycling on and off.

Well I had to try it. 6S! Now it's a different beast entirely. Tire Ballooning, rolling wheelies and increased temps.

Continous operation would overheat the motor. I'm going to enlarge the heat sink area on the motor and possibly add a second fan.

It will go from 0 to uncontrollable in about .5 seconds.

My run was cut short when a drive shaft gave up! Can anyone say power? LOL

Good job on finding the crossed motor wire. I recently got my revo conversion going and have only messed with it for about 10 min. The MMM and medusa 60mm 2000kv seemed good, but I'm wondering if I too crosses motor wires and forward is revese and vise versa. I have it set for 50% reverse, but when I tested the ESC on my test bench in rev the thing took off violently. Forward seemed good, but I'm not sure if thats just becasue I don't know any better. lol.

Anyway get that drive shaft fixed so you can beat on that monster some more.

I would gear down a bit and run it on 6s... Polyquest 3s 6000mah packs are about the best packs i can find. Not sure if they will fit in the battery compartments...

That 50% situation is funny...

What? You said run on 6s and then you mention 4s packs?

Good catch! I meant 3s packs, and I fixed the error! Not even the Pimp is perfect, remember that kids! Although I never claimed to be perfect, just very good!

I didn't even claim to be GOOD and I'm catching your errors... Funny.
