For Shocks I suggest either revo (cheap) or Front 8ight Buggy shocks. They are shorter than say on Ofna front shock and 15mm...

And for the gearing. I have only the 1520 in my maxx which is about 8-9mm dia. smaller than the 1717 and gearing was always an issue. The max distance between the spur and pinion with the 1520 was ~35mm. so I would assume about ~38 or 39mm for the 1717.

I suggest sticking to 32p and finding some 30+ tooth pinions. EX. for me I could fit a maximum of 58t spur and 26t pinion with the 1520 and youll need a much bigger pinion.

OR FLM makes a 3905 tranny adapter. which sits the motor super low on the chassis dropping it about ~1" to 1.5" But it makes the balance off. So you would need to run a 2s on the motor side and 4s on the opposite side. I had thought about doing this. but I didnt want to buy new packs or reassemble my 3s either...

Anyway GL with this project (I am subscribed) and check my thread for my new CD install as that is another great way to get serious speed. I will only gear 11/44 and that is already at ~50mph on 6" tires.
