PS check the specs, the medusa 80mm will run hotter than the castle-neu, it cannot generate anywhere near as much torque.

I don't want the CC/Neu because it's a 2200kv motor! I'm running 5s and I don't want to gear down that much. Lower kv higher Voltage geared for the same speed is a more efficient setup. Also a small pinion and large spur that would be needed for the 2200kv on 5s isn't as efficient either. The closer the two gears are to the same size the less resistance there will be between the gears. My 1515 2.5D is 1650kv and I'm very happy with it, a little less power wouldn't be bad. A 1600kv Medusa is the closest I can get to this without shelling out another $260. I already have a 36-50-4800 in my crt.5 and the motor is awesome, I expect larger motors will be of the same quality.
