You may be suprised to find who makes the losi motor...

And higher kv does not make it better. The motors are of similar size, so they will be capable of similar power numbers. The higher kv motor will require less volts, and more amps (thus needing a higher quality battery to perform well), and lower gearing to survive. Plus bearing are only so good...
