That only goes to a certain point though. The most efficient system will be running as high of voltage as possible to get the motor spinning to 40,000RPMs loaded. Basically, efficiency will be highest with the slowest motor on the largest number of cells (still near 40,000RPM). Just taking a motor and running more voltage through it won't necessarily make it more efficent; it has passed its most efficient RPM range, and so will get hotter.
The Feigao 7XL seems to be the best motor choice for a monster truck on 14-16 cells.
