I completely agree.I run a Neu 1512/2d (2550kv) on 4s which puts my rpm at just shy of 38000 rpm and love it. When geared down it has tons of snap and the ESC is seeing enough motor revs per mph so cogging is nonexistent at any speed. Yo0u may find the motor getting warm if you wind it out at top speed and keep it there though, so just play with gearing.

Or, since the motor is new and unused, see if they will swap it out for a lower kv. Explain the misunderstanding and see what they say.
