I'm just gonna take a guess at this.

It would seem to me that a really high winding motor is going to probably make it's torque and HP over a much wider RPM range. That is, the torque curve will be very flat and peek torque will be available much longer and therefore be much more useful.

I am sitting here looking at my dyno sheet and I see that my torque curve get's really steep at about 3700 rpm, peaks at 437 ftlb at 5100 rpm, then drops off steep again. My peak torque is really only available through a very narrow range of rpm, maybe only about 1000-1500 rpm. I don't know much about motors that turn 10000-14000 rpm but it seems to me they have to have a much wider range of useful rpm and that is one of the things makes them go faster.

Just a thought.
