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.

I don't own any 1/8 scale motors yet BUT I feel the same way you do.
On paper 2200kv is too much, especially since I plan on running 6s. If CC/Neu offered a 1600kv or thereabouts then I think it'd be a stronger argument. But as it stands, on paper, the 1600kv Medusa seems like a much better fit for 6s.
