Going up to 10s or more would be the best bet if you want to continually run high speeds. That will drop the amp draw down quite a bit, and the system will be much more efficient (you must also use a lower kv motor).

Another factor is that you really need to be spinning these motors faster. A 2000kv motor on 5s lipo is spinning about 37k, Going up to 6s would be the best bet and then you can gear it down a bit. Not sure what rpm max medusa is rated for, I know the 15 series neu motors can do 60k. If i planned to do a larger speed car, i would spin the motor close to the 60k and gear accordingly.
