Castle 1717

Thanks Bdebde...chassis brace that what I meant
Will having a 20t pinion overheat the motor? you think I should have got the 1520 instead?

Can the 1717 be made to work in a E Revo?

If the Medusa 80mm will work in one, then the 1717 is 5mm longer than that.

But it's almost 20mm larger in diameter, which could be the real problem.

it should work


i plan on test fitting it in everything i own and i will let you guys know what fits

here is what i can test

xxl with the dude mount
e-revo
tekno revo ( i know for sure it will not fit)
losi 8ight
hotbodies lightning with RCM mount
e-maxx
ofna truggy with RCM mount
mini e-revo! looks like it may fit without the body
fastlane savage

Whenever I geared my Muggy up for speed, the motor (1515) never got much hotter, but the ESC and batteries sure did. Are you using the RCM motor mount? I am not sure if the 1717 motor will even clear the chassis with that mount. Measure to the center of the motor hole from the chassis, if it is less than 28mm, motor won't fit. It could be made to work, if you put spacers under the diff mount and put spacers under the diff top plate to fit a larger spur (I think RRP makes a 50t that would work). I considered the 1717 but I figured I would have to make a new motor mount, so I just got the 1520. With a 50t spur you won't need as big of a pinion, you could gear for a more "reasonable" speed as long as your batteries are up to it.
