1717 on 4S?

Due to error on my order I got the 1717 by mistake (Castle already gave me great compensation for the error ).

All of my buggy’s and truggy’s setups are based on 4S and 1800-2200 motors.

Any chance to gain some extra performance with the 1717 on my truggy w/o buying new 6S lipos?
I plan to use it on 4S and gear it to the same speed of my current motors.
Not sure if this is possible since this motor is HUGE.

My buddy is running a 1717 on 4s in his losi buggy geared for around 40mph and it works great. Be ready for tire shredding torque though. He bashes alot and runs like 75% punch control and it still wicked snappy. The truggy would probably take it better IMO. Best way to find out is run it and see how it works for you.

Thanks for your reply, I will test it. I hope that the RCM motor mount can hold it.

According to whats been said the 1717 is just going to run that much more efficiently. Just gear it up to compensate for the lower kv and it should stay nice and cool at the same speeds.
