Well yes (and thank you for the link; I read thru it again) - I have read all of the stickies and infomation threads in the forum that I could find (including that one) and I fully understand that UNDER 40,000 is the place to stay. Mike firmly holds to that very rule of thumb.

ergo, the question - what's all the hype and advertising and ratings for about "high rpm's" from brushless motors, when the informed brushless hobbyist understands that torque is maximum at stall, horsepower peaks at 50% of maximum rpm's, and going over 40,000 only brings bad results?

rating a brushless motor for 60,000, for example then, for all practical purposes, doesn't mean anything useful?
