Even if you change gearing, it isn't really a problem in most mainstream cases. You can put five different ratios (between 5.95:1 and 12.75:1, surely enough for this application) into the AM Toughbox and variants like the Toughbox Micro with the same plates or housing, and Vex has multiple options too.
So you could still burn in your hole placements without regrets, if you're smart about it.
