A truggy is roughly the same size/weight as a MT, and those need an XL motor. The Medusa 60mm motors will probably be a bit small unless you gear way down, but then you lose top speed. The typical entry-level setup is 9XL, MM, and 4s lipo. Adjust the ESC for higher torque control to help limit the instaneous current surges. Even then, you'll probably want to gear down to 30mph to keep things cool. Once you get the funds, you could step up to a MMM, 6s, and 1515 motor to run that a lot better, and have more gearing options without heating things up.
