What would happen if I ran the 1600kv motor on 4s, or the 2200kv motor on 5s?

Similarly, what would happen if I bought a Neu 1515 1Y and then wanted to go 5s, would I need the other Neu motor 2D or 2.5D or something?

Thanks for the help!

The 2200kv on 5s would make the truck scream...the 1600kv on 5s would be a little slower, but more efficient

On 4s it would be a bit slow...5s is a better choice. The size of the motor depends on how fast you want to go
