help me understand this.... (MMM settings vs. amp draw)

[mk351e]

ok, so I run a tekno 1515 1Y on 6S 4800mah in a Muggy. It is about as fast as your average rocket ship, only it accelerates much faster

It is WAY beyond driveable unless things are toned down quite a bit, and I know that this setup can be stressful on the components, especially my lipos. I don't want that.

So, my question is, if I tone things down A LOT in castle link, I AM reducing current draw and making life easier for my battery right? Are there any negative side effects or downsides to this? Specifically, I'm talking about lowering timing, dropping startup power WAY down, as well as punch control.
