Hi guys! I just bought a jammin crt.5 roller from an RCU member. I am converting it to electric and it actually already includes the RC-monster motor mount. I bought a Medusa 4800 k/v V2 BL motor for it as well and was hoping to use this setup with my novak GTB esc. I will be running a trinity matched 6 cell pack at first and will then get a neu 5000mah 2S lipo in a few weeks. The original owner ran the truck on the medusa with a MM esc and maxamps 4800mah 2s lipo. In terms of resistance the GTB and MM are about equal, and I will be running the fan on the GTB, do you think I will be able to use my GTB for the medusa, or should I get a MM or monster max instead?

Thanks!

you could run it on 3s lipo with the no limit tekin r1pro esc

yeah I'm trying to stay with either an MM or the GTB. I would rather use the GTB as I don't have to buy a new esc, but if necessary I will buy one. I think even if novak doesn't reccomend running the V2 on the GTB, I think I can run it anyway. I mean people have run 3s on the 6900 and 7700 motors even though MM says 2s only. Just gotta make sure you have good cooling. If I can run the GTB in the crt.5 then I think I'll just run that for a while until I decide to get a neu or the like for my emaxx (and possibly my savage 25 if I convert it) and then I'll get the monster max and use it in the crt.5 as well as my emaxx.

you should be fine to run the gtb in it just keep an eye on the temps the first few runs

cool, good to know. That's what I was thinking, but always good to have a second opinion! : )

Isn't the Medusa motor a sensorless design? The GTB is a sensored esc. I'm not sure they are gonna work together.

yeah I hadn't thought of that, this discussion sort of went over into my other thread about the truck itself. I think it may work...
