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

Not here too freeze, sheesh. I just read 12 pages. You are getting decent batteries. Decent batteries paired with a sensible top speed (gear for 40-45) will keep you and your esc happy.

I surmise the 20t pinion failures were noobs with cheap batteries and those running the 25t pinions had decent batteries. There were simply too many variables to make the "20t vs. 25t" debate. It was all hogwash IMO.

Everybody here has had success running good batteries and gearing conservatively.

You are gettng the good batteries now gear for 40-45 and you are set.
