What have you been running yours on - 3 cell 11.1v?
There are going to be an awful lot more suitable speedos available soon as I know at least 3 companies that are working on them.

I don't why Novak have gone down the high K/V route. I've been running 14 NiMH cells on a HV4.5 - so absolutely loads of revs - in an E-Zilla. The top speed is very high. I have only used it for bashing, so probably haven't really stressed the ESC, although I have lapped a track without any thermal issues. As Novak says the HV4.5 isn't suitable for racing. But I would have thought the 5.5 / 6.5 would be pretty good with appropriate gearing, although they are both way over your target of 2000K/V. Why are you thinking 2000? Perhaps this would offer smoother bottom end power delivery than a low geared high rpm set up...
