Ditto that. Had both. The Medusa ran cooler, smoother, and had much more torque. This was a Medusa 36-60-1500 in an E-maxx versus the align 600XL.

I ran them both with the MGM 16018 and MMM. The MGM couldn't run the Align for poop and had reversing issues. The align was smooth on the MMM but the Medusa was smoother. The MGM ran the medusa well but the MMM was much smoother.

I think the 60mm medusa is perfect for a buggy but a little light for an MT, I think the 70mm for regular MT's and the 80mm for bigger heavier MT's.

I know the original post was about an 8ight but thought I would throw that in there. Sleebusjones bought my Align from me for a buggy and still didn't like it. He was geared for around 40 as well I believe. I am sure he still has it and would sell it to you though.

Basically how I felt. The align ran warm for me, and just did not have the response I was looking for.

I got your Medusa.

Down there in that Texas heat, you're gonna have to lean into the heat sink method.

I've often wondered about the Align 600xl and may try one. Especially since they seem to be coming down in price. I've heard they sound really cool.
