Hopefully that speed will be achievable with the new gearbox stages.
If you are operating the wheel at max motor speed there is no headroom to do closed-loop control.

So if you have a 775Pro geared at 3:1 and want to control the wheel speed at 6000 RPM you won't have a lot of battery voltage left to work with.
