A 1717 would really turn it into a true Monster GT! Plus they are still on sale. I have seen a few people post about running the 1717 on 8S with good results. Just note that it's pushing it to or above max rated specs (6S, 45k RPM).

The 2028 is just way too large and heavy IMO. Even if you made a custom mount and got it to fit it would mainly serve to make the truck heavier and higher COG, and stress the drivetrain. You can only put so much power to the ground, after that it's just going to be shredding tires and gears. The only reason I could see trying that is for the novelty of saying you did it, but if you plan to actually have a fun, drive-able basher stick with the 15 or 17 series.
