Yea just add a tooth or 2 and check the temps you get. The ESC should go up a bit and the motor temps come down. You will know when you go to far cuz the esc will start getting too hot. I'm not saying push the temps on the esc, but you should be able to runn hotter than the 115 with no issues. i have been running the MM in my buggy lately and its been running 140F with no issues at all. I typically shoot for finding the gearing where I get just slightly lower temps on the esc vs motor.
