BrianG · **BL Motor temp question. -** 02.18.2006, 08:20 PM

OK, I've read here often enough that running a BL with gearing that is too high will heat it, the ESC, and the batteries. Easy enough to understand. But what makes a BL motor heat up with too-low gearing? You'd think that with less load that it would remain cooler?
