Dropping teeth on the pinion would have been even lower gearing then the original 51/20.

Dropping some tooth on the pinion would make you pull less amp, but with most Feigaos you would still see the motor run hot. Aqwut had it geared really high, but the motor was probably not reaching really high RMPs. One example would be my BPP truck. I ran it today with 5S, 65/17 and 4.3 truggy diffs everything was barely warmer then ambient. Pulled 72A max. I ran a few days ago, same 6/17, but with the 3.30 buggy diffs and pulled 75A max. You will see a lot of people complain about heat issues with Feigaos and some have good luck with them.
