Motor on a reasonable budget

[highflier]

Ryan, I can help you a little bit.

I run a 9xl with 6s1p setup. Geared for about 45 MPH. The batteries are holding up just fine. I agree with you that 2p on the batteries is a lot of weight, not to mention a lot of space to make inside the truck. 6 min run times should be no problem. I just bash but I am getting 15 min easily. I selected 6S because I can charge that config in 8 min. or less. With 7s you will need either a really badass charger or be willing to wait a little longer for a charge. This is the reason that you see me looking to make the jump to 9S. More run time, Cooler running, More power, and still 8 min charge times.

To your question on the ranking of motors I would love to see some real facts, on that also. I am wondering if I will even be able to tell a difference between any of my current choices. The above posts make it sound like Medusa is the #2 motor as far as best goes.. and priced much better then several of the other lesser motors.
