The 1717 is a great Muggy motor. I wasn't able to get mine to mesh with my 13T pinion so I had to put my 16T pinion. According to the gearing calc that's over 60 MPH on 6s lipo and the power was insane, never got enough traction to wheelie but it would accelerate like it's hair was on fire! The hottest ambient temp I ever ran it in was around 10 above and the motor never warmed up enough to be noticeable (in that weather, that's kinda DUH! though). Come Summer time I expect it will be a great motor for those of us with big, heavy trucks though.

:lol:Any ETA yet? feel free to chime in ummm ummm P$$$$$K

Patrick,

Are you planning on releasing the 2025 at the same time as the ICE-HV-160 Car?

From the picture you posted it seems the 2025 will have a 8mm shaft. Is that the case? Can you share any additional info on the 2025?

We will probably stick with the 8mm shaft. A motor with that much torque needs a shaft that large.

The pinions on FG 1/5 scale cars are 10 mm, the gear for MCD is 8 mm but it is not really a "pinion", the Electric Harm 1/5 scaler uses 5 mm pinions (and a cheap Chinease motor). I am not familiar with the HPI, but then again the Baja and the 5T are probably your largest market for the BL conversion.

Just one of this issues I'll need to figure out for my MCD conversion.

Any ETA on this motor?

The pinions Mike already has for Baja conversions are 8mm bore, would be convenient to see the CC Neus use 8mm unless they prove too weak. Bajas will snap a 5mm shaft motor fairly easily, 8mm should be enough but 10mm would be better though more inconvenient to get pinions for.

Any new on when/if the 1717's will be released in a 5mm shaft?

yep still waiting for the 5mm rotor, it would be nice to be able to use my 1717 at the start of the rc season

DITTO been a long time waiting:yes:
And I see that Kershaw designs has a 6mm 18t pinion.

By now any claims to Cc about the 1717 that came with a different size shaft than what was listed on the motor chart would seam a little late. Should I call CC and get on record? Has any body called about this issue?

yep and thats only 10 less teeth than i need :lol:

Mine's just been sitting and waiting since the Black Friday sale.....

I wish we could have another Black Friday sale... when I actually have some play money!

Any news on the 2025 mind blower motor ? My 55" hull's waiting for her kiss to come back to life.

1717 5mm shafts? 1717 5mm shafts?....:oh:
