I don't think he'd even need to gear down running 6s:

1580kv x 6s lipo = 39,816 rpms

2200kv x 4s lipo = 36,960 rpms

The 1717 will spin at a pretty close speed to a 2200kv on 4s ( = ideal rpms and speed for bashing in my eyes ), but will have much more torque; if he gears down it will only increase the drive-train shredding torque....
