Traxxas Villian IV Upgrade

[Raven101]

Im upgrading my Villian IV a little bit, it is watercooled now and I am running stock motors and ESC. Im switching to a 18 tooth from a 14tooth. I am running 7.2 V 1500 MAH. How fast do you think I might be able to go? I eventually want to upgrade to 8.4 V 2600 MAH. Any suggestions?

Moderator on Traxxas Coolecool said 29mph is tops for speed and then it becomes a handful. Prop upgrades to 447 but motors like Monster wild but will the gearbox hold up and will esc last. Contact Traxxas! Those new 12t, don't. They have turn fins but you can make them yourself out of .064 aluminuum sheet from LHS. I have a Villian Ex that had a 700-8.4 but batteries got $$$ for my budget, so i stored in rafters in basement.
