Aren't there other factors? I am just asking tell me if I am wrong. The motor is based on magnets and windings. In my own experience they aren't inversly proportional. It seems that the faster motors actually have more torque. Is it just me?

I'm certainly no motor expert, but all other things being equal, a higher RPM motor almost always has less torque than a lower one. I'm not sure what you are using to measure torque, but pulling power, and climbing ability are two easy ways to test. When testing, keep the gear ratio the same. Put in the high RPM motor and try to pull something just heavy enough to stall the motor, Then try the lower RPM motor, and compare. While the High RPM motor might pull a light load faster, the lower RPM motor should be able to pull MORE weight.
