No one can really say for sure... I'd try it though! Do you have a 19-turn modified motor or a 19-turn spec motor? You'll have much more torque, that's for sure... At least you should!

It should be a bit faster since it is a lower turn motor. I see around 3ish mph between my 19 and 17-turn Orions...

I'm not so sure on this so i'll ask. What would I gear a 14t to get the most speed and not melt wires??

I'd get a 12-tooth pinion with the stock spur gear.
It's not that you'll melt the wires... You'll be over geared which is bad for the electronics."Happiness depends upon ourselves." -Aristotle
