Hey All.
I've decided I want my first build of the year to be an insanely fast Mini Arrow. I've got a couple of arrows now with the quickest running an Emax RS2205s 2600kv on 3s. It's pretty quick, but i'm looking for more speed (above and beyond dropping a 4s in my current plane.) As I don't know much of anything about motors and electronics I need some help. What type of engine should I be looking for to achieve extreme top end speed without having to modify the plane to accommodate the engine size or prop? I see some engines running 4100kv but they are very small.. like 1407 or 1507.. I'm not even sure if engines like this would work in something like an arrow or if high kv translates to speed. I'm simply Looking for some education.
Any and all suggestions/feedback would be appreciated. Happy New Year!

Here's one such 4100kv engine that caught my eye. https://www.getfpv.com/brotherhobby-tornado-t1-1407-4100kv.html
