The kv rating on the 6.5 is close to 4400, and is what it used to be rated, but has since been changed a little bit, and the kv rating on the 4.5 I believe is 4800. When I enter these along with 16.8 volts, it tells me that this combination is unsafe, and will result in motor overheating.

lol, tells me I'll get about 47 mph with my 6.5, and just over 50 with the 4.5. These are not accurate results for these motors :(. The 6.5 theoretically should give me just shy of 40 mph, if not dead on it, and the 4.5 in the mid 40's.

I refigured with the kv rating of the 6.5 set at 4000 kv, because I think that is close to the updated rating, and that yielded a more accurate result, about 40 mph. That still puzzles me about the 4.5 though, I saw it listed at 4800kv today.
