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

Now on the large pinion smaller pinion issue is it safe to say that having a numerically higher gear ratio will cause more back emf which could exacerbate the problem if the batteries are sub par?

Thanks again,

I asked if having a smaller pinion could cause more back EMF that could cause a failure if the batteries are up to the task, to which the asnwer was

So basically to me he is saying that in 99% of cases having the smaller pinion can cause this problem with the regen braking. But he ends with the statement of smaller equals less stress.

Those two statments given that Patrick are opposed to one and other unless he meant 2 different things.

Small pinion+bad batteries= damaged ESC

And Small pinion= less stress on the ESC under load.

Or he missunderstood higher numerical ratio.


Conclusive answer?
