So yeah, basically experiences would be good, but most people who have run outrunners have built the car for the outrunner, or changed the car significantly to run the outrunner.

Like has anyone gone from an car running an inrunner, then bolted an outrunner in its place, geared it up to a similar speed, and compared performance?

The application argument is the most important one from my perspective.
For example, right now I am building from the ground up an outrunner-powered belt-driven truggy with no gear reduction aside from the main pulleys. The kv on the outrunner is 360, and it will be powered by a 6s Lipo.
An outrunner would spin much too fast for this design, and would require at least a pinion/spur. One of my objectives with this project is to make it as quiet as possible, not for any real reason, just because I can.
