I can imagine theres not quite enough room in the stator field.
So what do you do when the motors turn such low RPM's that to properly gear we have to redesign the rear axles to accomodate smaller spurs and smaller diffs/diff rings.

Do you really want to run a 50T SPUR and a 76T PINION to be properly geared just to run a low Kv motor. I don't think this has been thought out far enough as to the impact of the 1/12 car design as it is.
