So I am interested in picking up one of these motors to try, but I am concerned with the really low Kv ratings. Comparing the 10.5T to a Tekin 10.5T there is 1400Kv difference
I understand there is much more to a motor than KV alone, but what about spec classes where gearing is often already at the limits of what will fit?
I like the look, and I like that you guys are here helping racers, but you gotta tell me the numbers are VERY conservative or something.

I can tell you with the viper motors you have a bit more room in gearing then with what you have now. I can honestly say the viper motors are hands down better then my losi and my novak. I had a novak 13.5 on my cougar and ran a 28 pinion, I swapped in the viper and used the same gearing and it was exact.
I had lower temps so I was able to bump up to a 30 tooth pinion and got a bit more speed out of it. all in all I will be running only viper for electric.
I just recieved a 8th scale motor and will have everything installed in my losi tekno conversion in the next few weeks and will be testing them on 22 volts!!!!!
cant wait!

Typically the Viper motors Gear 1-3 tooth more then other motors of the same wind.
in 13.5 buggy
i ran 26/75 in ae b4
i now run 26/78 and my car feels the same.
but my motor is more efficient on bottom end, And smoother through the whole power band.

I geared up 3 teeth thinking...wow I would never try that with any other motor and ran hard for 6 minutes both 17.5 and Truck was a blistering 88.5 and SCT was 101.8 lol.....I am now waiting on smaller spurs because I had no more room to gear up anymore.............Come on SPEEDO's...I am loving the new motors ..what a difference

So, ah, couple days after the Snowbirds, any new news? (even if it means later?) Waiting on ordering 2 10.5 VST's, a vtrax10, and a vtrax10r 
.
Do have a question though on the ProGuage. I believe I saw earlier in the thread, that the plan was to include the ProGuage, I was wondering on what? With the ESC's, or only packaged in with ESC and motor combo's? Our local track is under construction, so not in a major rush so I've been holding off on getting motors, so I could get a combo. Or even if the plan is to offer combo packages?

Get your self a couple Vipers, they are bulletproof man!
In fact... we have quite a stock of Viper motors at Premiere!
