Whenever I geared my Muggy up for speed, the motor (1515) never got much hotter, but the ESC and batteries sure did. Are you using the RCM motor mount? I am not sure if the 1717 motor will even clear the chassis with that mount. Measure to the center of the motor hole from the chassis, if it is less than 28mm, motor won't fit. It could be made to work, if you put spacers under the diff mount and put spacers under the diff top plate to fit a larger spur (I think RRP makes a 50t that would work). I considered the 1717 but I figured I would have to make a new motor mount, so I just got the 1520. With a 50t spur you won't need as big of a pinion, you could gear for a more "reasonable" speed as long as your batteries are up to it.
