The lower the wind, the higher the amp draw.

The taller the gearing, the higher the amp draw.

The lower the motor efficiency, the higher the amp draw.

The higher the amp draw, the greater the motor/brush maintenance.

I wouldn't recommend going below a 9 turn single due to the increased motor maintenance.

A 12 or 13 makes plenty of power. Don't buy a Venom. Speed Gems are nice for the price.
