Has anyone ran a 1717 in a Mbx5T?

[NickRummy]

I'm getting an Mbx5T pro spec with a Tekno conversion this week. I know the Tekno motor mount isn't going to work but I have the chance to borrow a friends RCM motor mount.

Does anyone know if the motor mount will clear the 1717 case? Will I be limited to a larger pinion to get the gear mesh right? I'm not to concerned about the can hitting the chassis since I can always just use some spacers under the motor mount to increase the clearance there.

I know there are probably better motors for the job but I have the 1717 sitting on the shelf with a MMM and I might as well use them.
