cant or not supposed to run 3s on anything over 4000Kv which is what most 2s racers use. Any motor rated for 3s is below 4000Kv. I do get what you are saying and is true... Straight line speed is faster but I have raced with a few ppl running 3s and they are fast but not "I cant keep up" fast. BTW, I run the 550 4300Kv HW motor paired to a XR8 SCT pro esc on my SCTE 2.5 geared 15/40.
