Gearing an L can motor

glassdoctor,

Do you think that I was running it overgeared at 14/46? Like I said, it was odd that the MM didn't thermal, which I would have thought it would have done, if I was overgeared. Really, the only problem that I had was the fact that the battery melted the shrink and puffed. Perhaps I wouldn't have had that problem if I was running a battery with more guts. I was, after all, running a 4Ah 3S lipo. I have 4S2P 6Ah lipos now. Perhaps I should try it again. This motor is only for running on concrete, so rolling resistance should be at a minimum.
