1717 in a Desert Boy Chassis, It can be done !

Nice! I was hoping somebody would figure this out. I just wish the 1717 came at a higher kv. On 6s I dont think you can even reach 50mph with the highest gearing.

You could use 10" diameter tires.

It will. Just put a 25tooth pinion and install the high speed idler. I did the math. My db17 does 50mph with small racing truggy tires on 4s with the 20t pinion, high speed idler, and 2200kv motor.
