What's your setup?

Can you give us a little Mini Review of your impressions of it's performance?

The motor runs ok. Haven't really put it through its paces yet as the weather is getting cold. I put a T8 1700kv truggy motor in a XT8 geared 48/14 on 5s. I wanted to replace the Medusa 36-80-2000 because the kv was just too high and couldn't gear low enough (I like no lower than 12t pinion). My first impression was that the T8 didn't seem to have the torque the Medusa had. Then again, it is probably pulling less current, so that makes sense. I'd have to get the same kv T8 motor, same gearing, etc to make a proper comparison.

The T8 did seem to stay cooler, but again, it is pulling less current and it is later in the year (cooler).
