NovakTwo, how about asking Bob about this. IMO running these motors in a 1/8 buggy type setup, with a low KV value, 2000kv, or under, on 4s, will either run slow, or get to hot. I understand wanting such a KV, but from my experience with your motors, they do better making their power with rpm's and gearing lower, then gearing up, and having the motor pull more.

So I guess my question would be, what would be the ideal KV for a 1/8 scale buggy on 4s? Or at what KV range do the HV motors see the highest efficiency?
