We ran the blue at 10 krpm and poked it with an aluminum shaft a few times. Also took ~ 100 shots at this rpm over the course of the season. Never failed a blue. I'm not comfortable saying it's safe to run 10 krpm as we didn't really give it a fair and realistic lifecycle test.

I'm very comfortable saying that with a concentric hub 6k rpm is fine indefinitely.
