Reason for the 1717 discontinuation?

[rcs2022]

I agree the 1717 is a nice motor, have one in my converted flux, but as Overdriven stated its not a direct fit and needs modding. But if I may add, the new version of the 1717 should be available as replacement parts for the xo-1, need to check though... can be had at ebay chop shops without warranty I suspect.

The 1515 almost became a standard as it is provided with lots of rc cars/trucks, hence the continuous need for it.

Well its always the quest for more obscene power and speed, hence these motors, how about a 1527 or 2028 in an extended Flux... Always had this project in the back of my mind....
