From what I can tell the 1717 should produce power levels between the 1521 and 1527. Patrick sort of verified this.

Since the diameter of the rotor is larger the 1717 will not spin up as fast, but will produce more low end torque than a 15 series motor in the same length.

I noticed a big difference in torque on my lst, compared to a neu 1521 1y (1600kv).

I think a large 17 series lower kv motor would make a great 8s choice for larger MT conversions, like the big savvy, lst, and cen trucks. Pair it with the mmxl. Would also be a good option for the current crop of 5th scale 4x4s that mimick the 1/8 buggy/truggy layouts.

The 2028 is a HUGE motor, and probably overkill for everything lighter than a 5b/t. Would be nice to have something between it and the 15 series motors.
