Harsh no, just annoyed. I have to agree with you; the Hvmaxx does have a high KV rating (4800 or 4400 models), but then thats the way Novak designed it to be. The trouble here is I think people are trying to compare apples and oranges (I hate that expression but its handy). Example:

An Airel Atom only has a bike engine in the back, yet can do 140mph+ because its light. A Ferrari has a much more powerful car engine under the bonnet, and can do 180mph+

The point here is the smaller bike engine makes its power with high revs, which allows it to propel the Atom to a very respectable speed. The Ferrari however uses a much larger engine with lower revs to make its power & speed the car along. Now think about the HVMaxx & Feigaos/ lehners etc.... You see my point?

Incidently:

Differential Ratio: 2.8461538461538462
Transmission Ratio: 2.769230769230769
Other Ratio: 1
Spur Tooth Count: 66
Pinion Tooth Count: 17
Total Voltage: 14.4
Motor KV: 4400
Tire Diameter (inches): 6.5
Tire Ballooning (inches): 0
Motor Current Draw: 0
Motor coil Ω: 0
Spur/Pinion Ratio: 3.88 : 1
Total Ratio: 30.59937 : 1
Tire Circumference (inches): 20.42 inches (518.68mm)
Total Motor Speed: 63360 RPM
Vehicle Speed: 40.04 MPH (64.32km/h)
Effective Speed Rate: 2.78mph/V (4.47kmh/V)
Effective KV Value: 4400

This is my current setup- I am going to the park tomorrow since the weather is ment to be very good- video will follow.

EDIT: Because ZPB is a car/bike geek, and caught me out....
