Higher pinions = safer MMM's? Or no? Someone's lying....

[Unsullied_Spy]

Taller gearing will put more load on the ESC, I'd assume that would translate into more stress on the ESC and therefore not safer for MMMs.

My Muggy weighed in around 14 pounds at one point running on 6s and geared for (including tire ballooning) 90 MPH and I ran the crap out of it for about 12 minutes and it still works to this day. That's not being used intelligently and I just had the Muggy out again earlier today and the MMM is still kicking strong, they aren't as touchy as the internet drivel leads many to believe.

EDIT: I should mention this was on 20-30C Turnigy 5AH lipos and they were around 100 degrees after the run and didn't seem to cause any issues, not all Chinese packs are bad...
