I'll know for sure once I get my data logger with the rpm sensor, but in the range of proper gearing for each motor, assuming the Novak motors hold 85% of their no load kv, (every valid speed measurement I've seen confirms this), I was probably getting at least 47 mph with the HV4.5 geared with a 9 tooth, and 52 mph with a 10 tooth. I don't have the HV4.5 anymore so I'll post the results of the HV7.5 speeds on both 4s and 5s when the data logger gets here, but it should be around 37 mph with novaks recommended gearing of 12/48.
