Yeah, I guess so. I was getting over-excited based on the timing of this release and specifically mentioning XLX after all the debate going on.
Just did another quick run with the LBP5898-1100kv (1165kv measured), geared for 80 kph on 6S, off-road. Current limit at 220A, 2x5Ah 65C Turnigy Graphenes. Got some longer WOT bursts and performance actually didn't feel bad at all. The "turbo-lag" feeling I had earlier with the on-road testing wasn't noticeable anymore. Highest recorded peak was 237A. Controller temp and ripple were nice and low.
I need one more Turnigy HD 8S pack to be able to test 8S, but that's in the mail :); 8S brings this gearing to 106 kph no-load. And if temps stay good, I might increase the Current limit a bit. I know speed-wise this is obviously not in the same league as the hardcore speed-runners like Phill, but if I can get ~220A peaks running at ~30V (6600W=8.85HP), with a controller that stays nice and cool, I think that's not such bad performance after all.
