In my AMP MT I have a Reedy Radon 17t 30,000rpm brushed motor. I have metal gears and a steel 87t Spur gear and Stock 18t Pinion. The motor has been getting really "Hot" and smoking...
Hobbywing ESC, and 2s Lipo

What Gear ratio should I switch to?

Thanks team!
 
i have a newer 1/10 ruckus it came with a 15t motor, 1800mah 2s lipo, and 40a esc(i never got my recalled esc so it wasn't 60a)i bought a gool rc 3500kv 3650 and 60a brushless esc (i will eventually run it on 3s lipo since it is capable with the new motor/esc but for now will use the stock 1800mah 2s) my spur to pinion is 87/17(stock) will i need to change gearing ive been told the motor produces more tourqe than stock and its top rpm is 50000 (20000 roughly over stock) so i dont think gearing down will be necessary but is it dangerous to run it "under geared" should i need to gear up/increase top speed?
