I dont know how to test the kv of a motor if anyone does that could help eliminate one potential problem.
Good idea about the mismarked motor but it can't be the 42K limit because it happens at 32.1mph(GPS) on 12.6:1 gearing which is less than 30K rpm i think.It will repeatably hit almost exactly that speed before it happens.
