Theoritcal CC Motor Gearing Questions

Don't forget that the 1717 is a lot heavier than the 1515, 424g vs 570g, the efficiency gain can be therefore minimal.

But how much more power does the 1717 make versus the 1515?

Maybe it can't be geared up even more due to it having more torque.

Yes, but if you gear more in an heavy vehicle, that's the ESC which will suffer a little more. The danger is that your motor temps will be colder than the 1515, so you will want to gear it up a lot...
Anyway, nothing replace the test, with checking the motor and ESC temps every minutes the first run
