BTW, heres a video of my xxx-t with a losi 7500kv system and a 7 cell 4600mah side by side.

Yes a higher kv motor can turn higher rpm than a lower kv motor, but that alone does not make it faster. Higher KV also means it more prone to heat, and are less capable of higher voltages. I love the look of the Losi system over the Traxxas, But I live in a Castle with my MAMBA.
