1st question, answer = they produce the same level of torque as such, though torque is a product of power in terms of wattage, or something confusing like that- lower kv motors tend to produce more torque than high kv ones at any rate.

I wouldnt choose the 2700kv option for 4s lipo, ever, its just too much of an amp hog and limits you to 4s lipo permanently.

2nd question is more tricky, as either route can be made to work well, and there are two schools of thought as such.

I personally favour the lower kv with higher voltage option, gearing is moot really as with a higher kv and lower voltage it will be roughly the same give or take a tooth. The fun starts when you get into debating what the perfect kv and voltage is; in principle the 2200kv on 4s is perfect, but many will say that motor (1515 1y) doesnt 'come alive' until you feed it 5s lipo, though 6s would still be too much for liking, speed runs only.

All depends on your voltage really, I would say the best alround motor for bashing/racing/ speedy stuff would be the much overlooked 1515 2D; still fun on 4s with slightly taller gearing, perfect for 5s, and plenty fast on 6s.

1515 2.5d is an excellent 6s motor for long runtimes and cool temps, and will tolerate taller gearing as such due to lower current draw, but good batts are essential with any of the above options in order to get the most out of the setup.

Im loving the 1518 1800kv motor castle will be bringing out soon, I really want one of those things baddly for my 5s setup.
