I found a cheap HV/5.5 system but I am thinking the 5.5 is WAY too high a KV motor? According to the novak site the 5.5= 3700KV! Dont most people run like 2000kv/2250's for revo/summit? On 4s (4x3.7v x 3700 = 54760 RPM...isnt that a bit much?) I need torque, not rpm lol.

Would the 6.5 (3400kv) or the 7.5 (3000kv) work out or are all of these simply too hot of a motor to get any kind of torque out of for the summit on 4s?

I also found one of the original HVmaxx systems (with the 4400 motor)... Isnt 4400 WAY too much rpm? Plus I think it was designed to run on 14.4 which would mean I could probably not run 4s, since that is 14.8V?

Damn I need some clarification lol
