safe to run a 1717 on 4S in a truggy? pics included

OK,
Use punch control, it really kills the amp spikes during acceleration. The EPA at 75% isnt really good for the ESC (bad efficiency of the transistors). You really can't gear down with the width of the 1717 ?
If not, the best solution would be the 1520 1600Kv with 13T pinion on 6S... Try to get one, only 65 bucks.

I thought it was the other way around. I though using punch control killed the efficiency. I know I can fit a 15t pinion on. I'll see if I can get smaller.

I really wish I had gotten the 1520 instead. I always learn my lessons the hard way. LOL. Honestly, I'd like to have an even lower kv motor like a 1350, but CC doesn't make one.

Try the torque control (not the punch control...) -- it really will do a better job of limiting current. You will be surprised how much more runtime you can get, and it won't limit your top speed (when setup correctly...)
