We had problems at Toronto, probably like 1296, because our gear ratio was too fast. The power peaks we had made us brownout. we replaced a 5:1 for a 9:1 in the planetaries at Montreal, and we had twice the torque, and the speed is still decent, about 9ft-sec, now with no brownout problems.
Like you said, with all the power, if we get in a pushing match, the wheels slip instead of stalling the motors. They get warm, maybe hot in elims, but they will not burn
