I agree, if I run 6s I want to gear at 17/18 t pinion but what we are being told here by HPI is that the ESC blew because the user ran the 20t pinion and not the 25t.
That is my point.
We all agree you should gear DOWN for more volts, but HPI is saying gear UP for more volts, and in the continued absence of a reply from castle creations on this matter, I want to be able to stay within warranty. Based on that, I need to throw out all the conventional logic and follow the manual, increase the load and gear the hell out of my motor on 6s?
