I'd have to believe that either the battery voltage is staying higher than the input value or the motor constant is a bit higher than spec'd. That's the only thing that can account for higher speed than calculated. The thing is, going faster than the theoretical calculated value just isn't possible unless the user is incorrect in one of their input variables. I'd really like to know all the details of someone going faster than the calculated speed, especially if it's GPS verified.
