Are Zippy Lipos safe with a Castle MMM Speedy?

Dayum!

When I found out how over-geared I was I was amazed I didn't cook anything. I figured that by gearing down and dropping the voltage I'd be going to a safer setup. I was surprised, to say the least, when I flipped the switch and the MMM started puffing smoke...

I ran the whole last season on 4s 5000 mAh 30c Turnigy batteries in a converted D8 with the CC 2200kv combo. geared 15/48 and won most races in my class. Even in the hottest days of August the motor never got above 160F after a 15 min. main! I don't need $200.00 battery packs to win races thank you very much
