IMO, alot of it really comes down to available gearing options.
Neil, you are right about unleashing it's full potential, But........
Even on 4S, such a well built motor can really perform.
Example:
I just picked up another Heli motor. I have an obsession with outrunner type motors, thus the reason for the avatar.
This one is HUGE. 43mm X 72mm. It is a 8 pole outrunner that yields 1100kv.
It's stator is 35mm in dia. X 38mm Long. Very strong magnets.
The advertised rating is 1600 watts continuous and 6S.
The Thing is a Torque Monster.
I've only ran it once so far on 4S, but in an E Revo geared 25/36 using Mod 1 gears, It is very impressive.
No Cogging and it will backflip. LOL It runs really cool too.
1st run was cut short when the Motor Pinion came loose. This time it got some Blue Lock Tight.
Back on Topic, the 1717 looks to be VERY well built. I can see one of those in my future.
I see alot of talk about Maximum RPM's, but you gotta realize just how much torque the lower kv motors are capable of.
How high it winds becomes less of a performance factor, the larger the motors get.
