Power density might also help. The SSS 5940, which I was looking at for a go kart, has exactly the same dimensions as a cim, but it has a peak rating of 10000 watts versus the cim's 1600. I'm not sure if that's just the motor specifically or a property of all brushless motors.
Well, it has a stall current of 180 amps, but a voltage capacity of around 60v.

What is cogging? I've never heard that term before.
Did someone say Brushless RC motors and gokart, with 48v LiPo pack?
