Edit, saw you plan to run 8s2p, that will hold voltage better, but you should still be ok.

Thanks. Just wondered if someone had experiance with 8s on this motor. I'm not gonna gear it to the moon so figured it would be ok.

Another question: I assumed incorrectly that the 1717 had the same screw mount spacing as the kb motors. Now I need a different motor mount. Any availible mounts for the original e-maxx trans with the correct spacing for the 1717?
