They always worked well, but again that was all of 5 runs and over 6 months ago is when I decided to buy an IRC 4mm chassis and completely rebuild it.
I've read a lot about testing brushless motors though it seems like a difficult thing to do without special equipment. Correct me if I'm wrong, but if my 1717 is bad, would the motor run flawlessly without load and running with wheels off the ground? If I had a couple more male 8mm bullets I would throw my 1521 in...new battery should be here 2/1.
Also, what firmware are you running on your XL2? I'm running the most recent, which was on it from CC. Just wondering if previous versions were better for cogging with the 1717? I know with my MMM, 1.21 had no cogging, but newer version did??

I don't really know of a way to know if a motor is OK, other than running it and seeing how it performs and checking temps. There are guys on this forum that know a whole lot more than I do about motors and escs....all i know is double the current that I have been seeing really caught me by surprise.
You may be totally fine pulling that current....I know my firmware must be stock...I have never updated it...since both mine were running good.
Get them Lipos installed and fire that big dog up...I am interested to see what kind of data you get.
I have not run my my Revo for a while...I forgot how outragous that thing is! Lots of fun! Keep us posted.
I think I was more trying to show some people that my data was fairly accurate even on the 2/sec setting.
