I don't think neu would rate the motor for 60000 rpm if it couldn't be ran at that.

dont be over focused on the limits of the Neu but usable power, I try not to surpass 40,000 rpms you can have too much power in an off road application resulting excessive wheel spin....try to keep your speed below 45 mph or you will just get fustrated

another thing to remeber about that 60,000 rpm limit. It meant as just that. a limit. It will handle burst to that kind of rpm, but to run it there for more than a few seconds without shutting down to cool after, it would overheat in no time. Neus are high quality motors that run cooler than just about anything else out there, but they arent magic.
