If the efficiency suffers, then it will show up as extra heat when the rig is geared for the same final speed.

Well, no, ofcourse I'm not on the design team. And I'll admit I'm no engineer on this stuff so I could be wrong here.
All I know is that if I run this 2200kv motor on 6s it will just have too high a top speed - even if I run a 9t pinion which is the smallest you can get. Under that condition I would be hitting 60+mph. So . . . to make a long story longer, it's just not my choice since I already have my 6s battery and plan on staying with it.
My understanding was that the higher voltage meant better efficiency from lower amp draw.
