And if you take into acount that the 5700 setup will be slightly more efficient than the 9,000 kv setup, you will be able to gear the 5700 up to match the rpm at the wheels. Not only that, but the esc will create more than twice as much heat with the 9000 kv setup.

So no need for there to be anything special for the rotor or bearings compared to the current existing motors.
If they are giving the motor 100k rpm specs it must use good bearings, and some sort of rotor wrap...
