How much did your truggy weigh in at?

My CRT Pro is currently sitting at 10.8lbs w/2 3S 5000mah batteries and a MMM/1717.

I love the way the 1717 moves it out. I started off with a 16t pinion (the smallest I can actually use, any smaller and the can hits the outdrive on the diff. I actually had to grind a tiny hair off the fins to make it fit with the 16t. I've since moved to a 18th and it doesn't even seem to notice the increase in tooth count. I may step up to a 19 or a 20t and see what happens to the temps.

Top speed is plenty fast enough, and the acceleration to get there instantly is on tap all the time.

But strangely its more controllable than 1515 on 6S was.
