Would someone give me a quick break down of the differences. I'm not sure what to choose. It's going into a light weight 4wd on road car. I plan to run 6 cells but certainly don't want to be limited to that.

It might help if you specified what your choosing from.

Yeah I guess your right about that. I was looking at these here.

Castle Creations Mamba Max ESC/6900kV Motor Combo

Castle Creations Mamba Max ESC/5700kV Motor Combo

Castle Creations Mamba Max ESC/4600kV Motor Combo

Runtime is not a concern. I plan to run lipo at somepoint in the future.

I would say the 6900 if your gonna go with 2S wen you go LiPo. Even if you went with 3S, the 6900 would probably still be my choice since it seems like your after speed.

That's exactly what I'm looking for is the speed. I imagine the higher the KV rating the higher the rpms if it's fed the right voltage?

Upto a point. If you feed too many volts to a high revving motor, it will spin too fast and overheat, de-magnetizing the magnet and probably shattering it too for good measure. Dont go over about 50-60,000 rpms at the very most I think (kv rating x volts = rpms).
