Default EXT2 Motor Upgrade...

Awaiting the arrival of my EXT2.. From the video's I've watched, I felt the factory 20t motor wasn't what I was after. So I went ahead and ordered a Venom Fireball 13t motor... I see that with this motor people either HATE them or LOVE them.. That is not my question... What else *may* need adjusting/changing with the addition of this 13t motor? Factory gearing ok? 81/23 is factory correct?? Help me out here people!! Back into the hobby for the first time since around 2000 when I had a Losi XXT Graphite Plus and 1,000,000 parts & tools for it.. Starting from scratch yet again haha... Thank you for your time and knowledge...

The motor is too low of a wind for the stock esc. You could pick up a cheap losi esc from a desert truck that is rated down to 12t for about 30 dollars U.S

So the gearing is ok from the factory. Only an esc upgrade is necessary?? In the meantime, just pay attention to the temp. of my factory esc??
