How far can you gear up a nine inch Mechanum without blowing the jaguars?

How far can you gear up a nine inch Mechanum without blowing the jaguars? Obviously, in this competition, you want to be fast and maneuverable (though as to which takes precedence, I'm not sure). So, our team is considering Mechanums; to do this effectively, we'd need to have a large gear ratio to speed it up, but if we gear it up too much, we're afraid that we might bust the jaguars when strafing, when the power requirements are greatest. Is this even possible? What is optimum?
