Neu 1512, 2.5D, 2050kv motor in a Maxx?

I picked up a Castle 1717 on ebay for about $160 new. Good deal. I swapped the 1515 that was in there for 1717.

Before on 6S, it was just too crazy, and the 1515 didn't like it, ran hot even with small gearing. Was also way too fast and useless for anything but speed runs.

Now, I run the 1717 with 15/48 gearing on my CRT on 6S and its PLENTY fast enough. Haven't clocked it but the calculators say I should be looking at about 65mph or so. Its nice because there is torque all over the place now, plenty fast, and on 6S runs nice n' cool all the time. Batteries like it more too.

I run twin 3S 5000mah packs in series. thinking of switching out to twin 6S 3000/3300mah packs in Series. A little more weight, but since I bash mostly the runtime increase will be appreciated.
