Hmm. What I should have said is a HVMaxx in a STOCK E-maxx is like the Atom (lightweight/high revs/small engine), and the XL motors are like the Ferrari (big motor/bigger car). Whatever. As for the HV KV ratings- that is what is stated on the Novak website, and that is what it says in my instructions- HV4400 has 4400kv. I doubt Novak cocked up their calculations, and I imagine thats why the introduced the 4.5 motor for more speed/shorter runs times, and the 6.5 motor for lesser speed and longer runtimes. Without speaking to Novak directly I cant say whether the 6.5 has more torque, but generally speaking I thought lower kv motors turned slower & had more torque- that seems to be the way XL motors work so it only makes sense that the HV motors work that way too? Could be mistaken though....
