I have over powered motors before and you can go faster if done correctly.I’ve seen 17,000 watts with my 5680 motor in my 162mph pass. Used 11,000 mah worth of 8s batteries but I’m gonna try around 9,000 mah this year see if I can get higher speeds. I have the output of power for sure.
My 4050 motor has also produced 7-9000 watts even tho it is rated at 5000.
You play with the balance of weight of the car with battery supply and what motor you choose for power but too big requires to much battery.
It’s like a big balancing act
With that said you can also over saturate a motor with amps and not go any faster. All the extra wattage just is converted to heat.
Typically running a motor over the max rating just results in more heat and less speed....
