I have a lst with the 1717, MMM, and a turnigy 40c 6s 5000mah lipo. Geared for low 40s, and using the stock lst2 tires which are 6.5" tall or slightly more and are quite heavy. Too much power, could be geared up quite a bit, although I wonder if the esc will keep up. On 8s with the MMMxl (omgwtfbbq) with lower gearing this would be plenty to move the big cen tires. I doubt the genesis would be much more than 3lbs heavier than my lst. Still a big truck. A 1527 would be my choice, but those are expensive...

I will be going back to the 1521 1y in my lst, and using the 1717 in the 6x6 lst. I have a feeling the transfer diff case will not take the beating, so I will have to machine up a suitable replacement.
