That RPM was based on using the max size spur/CB setup available for the 2 speed setup. I was kinda leary about those high rpms as well. If I went with a single speed setup, I wouldn't be as limited by what 2 speed gears are available and use a larger pinion and/or smaller spur. That would bring the required rpms down a bit. Heck, I could even try a direct drive setup using an outrunner, but would have no gearing options and would need to control top speed via voltage and motor choice only.
