well i'm a newbie at this but even i can figure out this.

vehicle requires X watts to move at 60mph.
IT DOSENT MATTER WHAT KV YOU USE weather it be a 1kv motor on 60,000volts or a 9000kv motor on 8.4v...it will still draw X watts to get the vehicle to 60mph.
if the motor wasnt built to take that punnishment..then it frys..but not without trying to draw X watts.

there is no such thing as a low KV motor giving more tourque.
yes they will most likely cogg less as would a 4 pole vs a 2 pole motor (4 pole FTW!!) but both motors will still draw Y watts to get the vehicle X watts or 60mph.

the only thing playing a part here is the friction losses in the tranny and motor.

make sence?
