Re: Gearing for a Very High Speed

I'm not sure how reducing the motor power to 50% is really helping you. If a high speed isn't controllable, why not just change the gearing so that is at a more reasonable speed? If you reduce the motor power by 50% then you'll barely be going faster than your low gear and you'll have half the torque that the low gear has.
