idiots. its does no harm to an electric motor to hold it punched. for a good judge if temp you should be able to put your finger on it for a 2-3 count and i mean 123 not 1 mississippi 2.
as for gear smash. you want teh gears to be as tight as possible but still have a tiny tick of play between them and alos so that they are not noisy.
if you are just holding the truck punched up and down the street the bigger pinion will have more top speed but less acceleration. if you are doing a lot of start and stop i would gear down as that will take some heat out of the motor. also i have gotten electric motors hot enough to unsolder themselves and they continue to work. its alos a mini t and motors are pretty cheap so just experiment a bit. any thing else just ask
