Brushless e-maxx - new setup questions

[BP-Revo]

Well, also remember gearing can be increased for more top speed if the system can handle it. If the system is running, say, 35mph but is running at room temp, you could probably get 40mph and the system would never get about 120-130.

But if 35mph is making the ESC constantly thermal, then its probably a good idea to gear down.

16 is a good starting point - you can go from there.
