The trim wheel speed when powered by the motor will also increase.
Probably also eliminating the ability to stop a runaway trim by grapping the running wheel with the hand? While you have more momentum due to the gear to prevent the motor from spinning, the higher trim wheel speed will have considerable kinetic energy while spinning.
