In a lighter vehicle that isn't so power/torque-hungry I think the motor would do fine. But being a 2pole, I have come to the conclusion that it just doesn't have enough torque to push my XLB (1/7 scale buggy) to 45mph.

The main reason why I didn't opt for the Medusa from the start was because of its smaller diameter. Bigger diameter generally means more torque. But we shall see.
