Tish - Thats quite common. Brushless has so much torque it can pull really big gearings and everything looks good, but if you drop the gearing and let the motor rev instead you get just as much performance.
Pinions aren't quite irrelevant, but the power band for a good brushless is so big that you can run a range of sizes without much difference.

Actually thats the real message here - modern systems can offer all the power you'll ever want in a single package and you can tune to your needs. How you get there doesn't matter because when we can only use 80% of the potential anyway you don't need the most efficient way.....
