Take the motor out and spin the drivetrain. It should continue spinning for several seconds. Buggies can handle more power than MT's just because they are easier to drive fast. It takes about power to push me 7 mph on a scooter than it does to push my 8ight 35 mph, so gearing down is certainly easier on a motor than reducing the same amount of weight ratio wise.
