Post your Castle 1717 setup here!

[lincpimp]

I have a lst with the 1717, MMM, and a turnigy 40c 6s 5000mah lipo. Geared for low 40s, and using the stock lst2 tires which are 6.5" tall or slightly more and are quite heavy. Too much power, could be geared up quite a bit, although I wonder if the esc will keep up. On 8s with the MMMxl (omgwtfbbq) with lower gearing this would be plenty to move the big cen tires. I doubt the genesis would be much more than 3lbs heavier than my lst. Still a big truck. A 1527 would be my choice, but those are expensive...

I will be going back to the 1521 1y in my lst, and using the 1717 in the 6x6 lst. I have a feeling the transfer diff case will not take the beating, so I will have to machine up a suitable replacement.

Here 's a pic of my xxl w/1717 MMM.I currently run this big rig on 5s, but 6s is in the works.My current 5s gearing is 20/63.Note i still havnt ran it with these big azz cen tires yet.The Moabs that i was running before were not much smaller so i should still be in the ballpark .

Bye, Andrea

Here is my Caster F8T conversion with a 1717 motor. It was a tight fit and I had to use an EliteRC motor mount and also shave down the steering post to provide enough space. Not pictured is a top plate I made to link the front bulkhead to the center diff to prevent chassis flex that would cause the steering post to hit the motor.

I've since sold the 1717 and I ordered 1518 to replace it. It was just too much motor in weight mostly. I would have kept it, but couldn't see a use for it in the near future.

Here is a video of it on the track running on 4S. It was literally my first run with the truck.
