My friend and I are both running E-firestorms with the same gearing, but he's running a MM/5700 combo and I'm running a Novak/SS5800 w/sintered rotor. On Orion 3200mah packs we're even, but if we both upgrade to TP 4900mah packs the MM walks away from the Novak like it's standing still. He's got at least 10mph+ on me. I'm guessing it's the ESC. I'll try a MM with the Novak motor and see if it's a closer race.

The ss5800 is rated for 225 watts max. The 3200 packs are good for about 60amps cont, which should be around 400 watts. My guess is that the 5700 can put out more than 400 watts if the battery makes that much difference. The novak motor is smaller...

The SS5800 motor was rated without a load. The actual loaded KV is something like 4300 is I recall correctly.
