This may be a dumb question, but i really don't get it.
Ok I get that gearing up may be necessary to regain the speed lost from lower voltage.
But exactly this feels counter intuitive to me:
Lower voltage results in higher amp draw. (P=VxA)
Gearing up also results in higher amp draw. (higher load).
That's already two things that may heat up the system.
Another reason why i am asking is:
I already run my Mojave on 3S, 4S and 6S, no problems, without ever changing the pinion.
So apart from the general opinion and consensus on this, does anyone have a scientific/technical explanation?
