Well after asking if ppl thought I could run my Fantom 17.5 on 4s I thought I'll give it a go, I think the resounding opinion in the chatbox was I'd kill the motor quickly.

Geared it 22/86

All Set up to go

Temp Sensor on motor.

Gave it 3-4 minutes before I hit a kerb (damnit!) 4s + 17.5 = Fkn FAST!

Amp draw was fine:

Temps were surprising, motor was hottest when I was carrying the car outside by the back. Temps do move markedly due to airflow speed as well.

So yes I'd say 17.5 on 4s is fine.
