anything new coming from the novak camp?

Also, this is more of a design question, but it seems the current HV series stuff is designed to run at high rpms. Is there a particular reason for that decision? Being sensored, I would think that lower rpms would be just fine, and there would be less strain on parts (bearings, rotor, etc) if it was spinning at the typical 35-40k rpm range. Not knocking your stuff or anything, just curious.

The reason the HV motor has such high Kv's is that it is a three slot motor and three slot motors are by their nature higher Kv motors. A 12 slot motor will have about 1/4 the Kv of a 3 slot motor. The bigger 1/8 motors out now are all 12 slot motors. They are more time consuming to wind and there for more expensive. The new motor that we are working on is also a 12 slot motor.
