Consensus on EPA

[pullinteef]

So what's the final word on lowering the throttle EPA on the MMM? I keep hearing mixed answers, some saying it will blow the ESC, some say it's ok. Sometimes I like to go to about 90% and it seems more controllable without underloading the motor. I have an RC8 with 1512/2D, and have tried 13-16T pinions with a 46T spur. The 13 and 14 seem to get the motor too hot (175-180) after a 10 minute qualifier. The 15 seems pretty good and the 16 is just insane but I think it draws too many amps and heats up the battery a bit more (Flightmax 5000 25C). So I settled on the 15T but the motor still gets to 170 but If I lower the EPA just a little it seems to keep the motor a bit cooler. Will this blow the speedo? It's a V3 thats been great since November (just breaks fans)
