When I rechecked my setting, the rpm range was not what I initially had set (closed the gap considerably between start and end rpm). If that rpm range is too close/short, it will build up heat very quickly and then poof, no motor. Now, I triple check it and have not had an issue since my Pulse incident.
I read somewhere that with v203, you "would" gear your 17.5 like your 13.5 with v200 initially. Then tweak it from there depending on your track.

My 17.5 is geared at 6.2, and it's plenty fast.
