Adding to the above.....

Lower turns = less runtime
Higher turns = more runtime

I have always wondered about the drifting and how to gear them...I always thought that having lower torque and a higher gearing would have been better. In my thinking, having it geared high with a torquey motor would help break traction....having a high reving motor is not ideal because it would over run??

Just a thought, but given that higher turns would give more runtime and be less susceptible to over heating....its not like you need higher speed...
