Yes, but you will need 5mm 32p pinions.

Ok, just got back from an approximate 15-20 minute run with the 4800 kv 50mm medusa V2 motor.

It's about 78 degrees out, sun was going down, and a relatively light breeze.

Model Setup:

-Rustler w/ RPM a-arms and swami bar (so maybe a tad heavier than a stock rustler due to the wheelie bar, which is a huge hunk of aluminum for the most part).
-Proline Road Rages all around
-Geared at 23/87 for a FDR of about 10.3:1 (by my speed calculator, it's about 35mph if voltage under load is about 7.4 volts)
-Battery was a Trinity 4500mah 2s lipo
-Full steel transmission (thank you RC-monster;)) and full ball bearings

Mamba Max setup:
-Custom timing, 12 degrees (in between normal and high)
-70% brake
-50% reverse
-Propotional throttle with reverse lockout
-Low start power
-0 punch control or drag brake
-6.2v cutoff
Results:

Motor temperature- 125F
Battery temperature- ~120F
ESC temperature (has a 5v Novak fan on it)- 98F

Overall impression:

This motor is EXACTLY what I've been looking for! It runs cool, it has plenty of torque, and it's super smooth. The truck just runs better overall, and this motor seems like it'll be perfect to run during the summer when temperatures hit high 80s and low 90s.

If anyone is considering one of the 50mm motors for a 1/10 truck like a Rustler, CRT .5, or anything else small, go for it! Well worth the money IMO.

In other news, I just ordered the FLM transmission (from, of course, Mike; now everything but the top gear is from RC-monster for the Rusty's tranny). The stock tranny looks like it's warping where the motor mounts.
