Default Brushless Motor gear ratios

Guys,

I am curious, but do you all follow the gear ratios recommended by the manufacturer?

I have a peak 4.5t and think 14 to 1 is a bit low, and I dont have a 10 tooth pinion to do it either. Im using a ratio around 10 to 1 and was wondering if thats a bit high?

So what can i get away with before the motor over heats and stops?

All info would be welcome, just say from your experience, as i know zero about brushless.
