Be on the safe side and get a 15T. There's no need to jeopardize your ESC by using a lower turn motor. The 15T will give plenty of power and last a few runs longer than the 14T.

The Triple-X Spec has the same tranny as the rest of the line, so it's capable of handling down to 11 or 12T motors if you want, but I recommend sticking with a 14 or 15T. I would suggest upgrading to ball bearings in the hubs as one of the first upgrades, then be sure whatever speed control you have installed can handle a strong modified motor. The speed control manufacturer usually lists motor limits on the box. Also, be SURE to change gear ratio when you install a modified motor. Even a 15T motor will require a considerable change in ratio to keep from burning up the ESC and battery pack. Once you decide which motor to get, post a question in the XXX forum in the vehicles section for recommendations on gear ratio. Too many people install modified motors without changing the gear ratio, and that's when everything melts down.
