lol, funny you should say that, because I have one on my fridge right now. Holds several layers of papers far better than anything else; and with enough force to open the door. Those stupid little business card magnets are useless for that; they can't even hold one piece of my kid's art work without falling off with a gentle breeze.

I love my medusa but they are a plane motor. Not really built for car use. Hopefully mikes clamp holds them together enough when it surfaces that this won't happen anymore.

Thats an idea chris.. replace the shaft and put a heatsink clamp on it... Better than no motor I suppose.

I am getting tired of the temp issues and crappy runtimes with this high Kv low voltage stuff, fixing that motor isn't worth waiting around for RCM-Mike to finish the heatsink clamp for the Medusas IMO. I am replacing the motor with a Tekin 1550Kv truggy motor or a Neu in a Kv range close to that and going with 6S.
