Higher pinions = safer MMM's? Or no? Someone's lying....

Ha, so lower gearing is better for the esc- now theres a revelation I didnt believe for a second that using higher gearing was better for the esc on any given voltage, as was suggested earlier.

Patricks answer is exactly the opposite of what I asked though.

As far as an external circuit, I am making a clipper circuit that uses a fet that is driven by a Zener in series with a resistor. Once the voltage rises above about 30V it drives the fet on and the load is dumped into a 10 ohm 5 watt resistor (Think I am going to go to a 10 watt though). This is specifically for the motor I use, but I am sure it could be applied in this case as well.

Also higher and lower gearing means different things to different people. Higher gearing may mean higher speed (numerically lower) and lower gearing may mean Lower speed (numerically higher).

To me Higher gearing means Numerically low (or shorter gearing) and lower gearing means numerically high (or taller gearing)
