You don't want to be pinned WOT when getting around the track.
I usually go with a rule of thumb of gearing to top out towards the end of the longest straight. From there, I can adjust my gearing accordingly after reviewing temps. Works well, usually stick with the gearing or go 1 tooth change at most.
Or, if you want just a range, the 16T and above is a nice selection, or 35mph - 40mph for top end speed is what some gear to as well.
You captured exactly what I was trying to say! I just made up a word, or at least re-used one that I heard that made sense to me. LOL..
Essentially running the motor hard on the top end for extended period of time, causing more heat type of scenario thing. For me it just didn't put me in an ideal range.
