the 1717 is way too fat for a dude mount, get a 1520 or the 1521 neu.

Even a 1515 has plenty of power for braking. Brushless motors decelerate just as powerfully as they accelerate.

Better batteries are the key to a successful setup, because when braking the motor acts as a generator and puts power back into the batteries at a rapid rate, if the batteries aren't up to the task of accepting the current that power will try to bleed off as heat through your esc and that can make your esc go poof.

The best batteries you can get are your best bet for brushless.
