But if you want to play with gear ratios you can, but it may not be needed. Also if your esc isn't hot, then your motor should be fine (if the esc was very hot as well then you might have a gear issue, the wrong motor or too much friction some where)
Chris I always thought you couldn't run a motor at full speed for a long time (I guess I read wrong somewhere).
The esc is never hot just a little warm and thats it.
I guess i'll keep the gearing the same because i like the speed i've picked up with the big pinion gear :joy:
I dont stop alot, i go down my road with it full speed and hit the break and it spinds 3 or 4 times and pops around then hit the gas again until it hits the other end of the road, lol
Its pretty much always got the gas hit if not full throttle its half.
I guess it should be fine since i can touch my finger against it and keep it on forever, right?
Ounce again thank you all for the help, now i wont be so paironoid about punching the throttle
