Well welcome to RCM troubleman. Hope you can enjoy your stay with us. Not so sure about your setup, because that 1717 can draw a lot of amps at its peak. The RX8 is a very nice ESC, but from most of the info and posts I have seen it is not great for handling high amp setups. I am seeing some MMM's doing OK with that motor, but I always go on the side of caution and believe in overkill when it comes to having some wiggle room with electrical setups. I would go with the CC XL if I were you. Money wise that is probably your best bet. If your budget is bigger than look into the MGM Comp Pro lineup. Read around here, because there are more and more CC 1717 setups showing up in various configurations, and most seem to work pretty well. I have three of these motors, but my stuff is in transit because we just moved. Personally I think that motor is just a bit too much for the RX8. Just my 2cents.
