i agree with newe.

even if you're running a 72t spur, a 15t pinion is pushing it. there have been too many stories of the hv system blowing with overgearing. i'm not taking any chances at all, and am running 70/12... which on a light truck could be undergeared (my motor was running about 140 degrees and the ESC was only about 85) but have since added a LOT of aluminum.

whatever gearing you use, just monitor your temps closely with a temp gun.
