Finding the right gearing is part of the fun. Each driver, each car, each track requires a different gearing. With the advanced ESC comes to play, you can fine tune using profiles (boost) or motor timing. The combination is unlimited.
Just keep gearing up until the motor temp hits 150~160F, then you know that is about the 'ballpark' figure and fine tune from there. good luck and let us know your findings later.
