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

The problem is that they will burn up ESCs left, right, and center and blame CC for it and go all around the internet trying to sully their reputation. It already happens, but with all the n00bs coming into the market because of these RTRs we're going to be seeing more and more of it because people simply don't understand how it works and they want to go 60 MPH through 3 feet of grass with 8" tall tires and have everything work perfectly.

I agree on the EagleTree, I'd like to see someone running 15T, 20T (stock, I believe), and 25T pinions on 6s and post up good graphs on all 3 to show exactly what gearing does to amp draw. Also post up temperatures and such to show what the increased/decreased load does to temperatures across the board.

Amen to that! All that power and no knowledge/appreciation of how it works is a recipe for disaster.
