Personally, I love the Medusa motors. They may not quite be at the same level as a Neu, but definitely the best bang for the buck IMO.

I have a 50mm Medusa in my Slash, CRT.5, and 4-tec conversion, and they all perform very well and never get more than ~130*F. In my XT8, I have a 80mm Medusa (2200 kv), but it gets a little warm for my liking after an extended run (around 150-160*F judging by touch which is not accurate I know). I attribute that to gearing limitations though; I can only gear down so much. I'm waiting for Castle's 1800kv motors and then the Medusa will find a new home in my MBX5 Corr, or the Hyper8.
