Ok, can I restate the question?

If I have a 6 pound buggy, want it to go 40mph, use 4S lipo and not get hot....
Would a higher kv motor geared 16t to net 40mph on 4S be better than a lower KV motor geared 20t to still net 40mph as far as heat goes?

In pondering the question, I suppose all things constant, the motor that is closer to its most efficient RPM would heat up less rght?

If I could only draw what I see in my head, then afford to build it, and finaly get to play with it...
