For the motor mount, I like the Elite RC mounts. VERY nice and should hold the 1717 just fine. Your only problems will be the 1717 has the 6mm shaft where as the bearing in the Elite RC mount is a 5mm. I'm not sure if they make a 10x6mm bearing. At worst, you just wait for the 1717 with a 5mm shaft (should be out soon) or use no bearing. Also, I'm not sure if they have one for the MBX5T, but I know they have one for the MBX6. If there the same, then your good to go, but I don't know if the diff holders are the same, so I can't say for sure. I would assume they are.

As for the battery tray, again, I REALLY like the Elite RC tray. Its universal I do believe, but it wouldn't be hard to make it work. I really like the fact that its adjustable. For 5S or 6S, I guess it would depend on which motor, and what you plan to do with it, yada yada. Buy one of both and go from there is probably my best advice. I'm not really sure if you've ever had BL or LiPo for that matter, so 6S might be a bit much, especially if you plan to race.
