Are Zippy Lipos safe with a Castle MMM Speedy?

Gearing up won't reduce the "pep" like it does in brushed setups, which are very finite in their ability to produce power. The limiting factor in creating "pep" with a brushless system is ultimately the batteries. If the batteries can deliver, gearing up will make it feel even more powerful. If they can't, then perhaps re-reading this entire thread is a good idea. This "gear up to reduce torque" philosophy is old school brushed thinking and does not apply here(and can be problematic).

True...I had my mind wrapped around gear ratio only when I was thinking about it this morning.

Just adjust the punch control, and play with your transmitter settings...
