its all good, because i just got an email this morning saying my status changed. Because I remember when i ordered the esc, it said the same exact thing and got it about 4-5 days later, so i assumed that the motor is in.

However, I'm thinking of trying the VST 13.5 I've got. What kind of gearing and/or ESC changes (VTX10) should I make?

Thanks for the help! Been LOVING the Viper gear.

Anyone? I'm assuming I'll have to drop a couple of teeth on the pinion, but I'm really looking for guidance on any ESC changes I should be thinking about by going to the 13.5, and don't wanna' kill anything either
Thanks.

Thanks.
If your motor thermal cutoff is set to 220* it should prevent any permanent damage to the motor.

For going to our VST 13.5 in that truck I would drop 3 teeth on the pinion to start and change your acceleration boost rpm range to 5500-15,500rpm
