You don't want to go crazy with this idea though, like putting a 1527/1d (kv=2300) on 6s lipo on a 8th scale buggy, but gear down for 20mph. The motor wouldn't be loaded enough.
What I am trying to say is that I don't like getting a low wind and applying low voltage for low rpm and then gearing up to compensate for lack of speed.

Understood, thank you. Unlike some people on the "other boards" I appreciate your long explanations.
