That's much less likely to cause damage than lugging the motor! (running BELOW the recommended RPM range at WOT by running a prop with too much pitch/diameter!) Check out that E-Tec link in my earlier post for more info. Most modern motors like the E-Tec have speed limiters built in to the EMM that will keep you from over revving them.
