well i ran the 1717 on 4s....... WHOA! can we say axle snapping buggy backflipping tourqe? had a little talk with my buddy and explained the situation, which wasnt hard hes a smart dude with 40+ years of exp. running and seting up cnc factories all over the world. we talked about how 6s was way to much for his setup even if we geared it down. so on 4s with the same 15/48 gearing it works very well. i would say top speed is around 40mph not to bad, but getting there, holy cow! medium start power 0 timing and 50% punch control and the thing still wants to flip over at wot from a standstill. cant really say im suprised but more impressed with the seemingly limitless tourqe this motor puts out even on 4s. hes gonna order some 4s packs and we are planning on taking it out for some fun. i will make sure to bring a video camera so we can all have a laugh. really is a funny vehicle but perfect for bashng around if you ask me. and with about $250 for the whole setup i think he did well.
