If 25K rpm is the limit for the KB's then the 10XL sounds just about right - 26.600 on 6 cells.
Will a lower KV motor be easier to controll (wheelie/backflip wise) or will the increased torque mean that it wheelies more. I mean if I geared for about 45mph will a 1200KV motor then be easier to handle than a 2000KV? And why?

25K is not the limit, I have ran the 1700KV motor on 8S, and it was insanely fast... I recommend somewhere around the 25K mark.
Example, 1200 KV and 2000 KV motors of the same size.. Powering a Monster Truck...
They both have the same power output.. with the lower KV you have to gear higher and use more voltage, and with the higher KV you'd have to gear lower and use less voltage.
I prefer to use lower KV and higher voltage & less RPMS.. but there is a limit..
Lower KV motors can't take as much amps as the higher KV.. the Lower KV relies more on Voltage.. whereas the Higher KV motors relies on Current. know what I mean?
