I’m starting to get into FE racing (I’m a long-term gas boat racer). So, here’s my question as a new electric racer. Why would someone planning to do closed course heat racing, go with a 1600 KV motor over a higher KV motor, which would turn higher RPM’s (e.g., say an 1800 or 2040 motor), and meet the legal can size dimensions?

I’m running P-Limited with 4s on a 32” carbon fiber TFL Pursuit Mono. The boat comes with an SSS 4082 1600KV motor, and a Seaking 180 ESC.

For racing, would I be better served with a higher KV motor, and if so, what? Thanks.
