Yeah, was the same for me and since I've got a 1518 and the repair kit for it is non existing I thought that $70 for a quality motor is a deal too good to pass up on.
I know that the 1515 repair kit can be used for the 1518, apart from the rotor, but the price tag on that kit is in the $45-55 range. I'm still beating myself up for not buying two 1518's during the last sale.
Well i ordered a 1717 the other day when this was posted and just received it..Now i know why these 1717s where in the corner of the warehouse... I got a 1717/17 1580kv with a 6mm shaft and closed endbell. which is odd because the heli version has 6mm shaft and open endbell... I'm kinda frustated at this point..

IIRC, the first batch of the car version was mistakenly made with the 6mm shaft.
