This is gearing 101 basic. If you gear down, 15T for example, you will have more torque. That will cause you to wheelie more. It will have less top speed and more acceleration. Potentially less motor temp.

If you gear up, 17T for example, you will have more top speed and less acceleration. It will have less torque so you will have less tendency to wheelie more. It will likely have higher motor temp compared to 15T.

In my experience 17T was the sweet spot with 2200KV motor. 15T and it did wheelie and backflip so much that it was dancing like it was alive. Check out Savage Sam's video on Youtube and he will say "It's Alive!" on his MT410 video.

When I called TEKNO back in the day to figure out my MT410 gearing, they recommended 16T. They told me that's what they used in the promotional video.
