I have a question for the guys who know.

I thought excessive load make he controller work harder like when you jump on it fom a dead stop. Doesnt the excessive amp spike what burns esc's. Isnt that why they rate them on how many amps they can take. Seem like a smaller motor spinning higher with lower gears (Higher numerically) would require less amps.Then a bigger motor spinning slower with a taller gear IDK???. I dont think heat would be an issue because it not going to be a long drawn out race track. I am talking 15 second run at the most.
