Thanks, Serum - I was hoping someone would jump in with a more technical explanation :)

All things considered, though, you still need to make sure your vehicle is geared properly for your driving conditions, but it's great to know more specifics in regards to motors.

From your post, I believe we're talking about the same thing with the "sweet spot" of a motor - I just took a stab at guessing the RPM range had something to do with it. From just about all of the posts I've read where advice is given on which motor and which voltage to use, the kv x volts generally ends up in the 35000 to 40000 range, so I assumed that meant something. :)
