The Tekin 2050Kv motor is more like a 2120Kv motor from some of the sites I have read and the calculators used.

The main reason I would use a higher Kv on the EB48 would be to get a different gearing range. Using lower Kv motors, can find yourself using big pinion sizes and spacing the motor more from the centerline. Depending on the kind of gear setup you are using, say the long shank pinions or the clutch bell stuff, you may find yourself limited to a certain sizes.

Also, you may want the aggressiveness of some of the higher Kv motors like that Tekin 2050Kv.
