I've had a 1717 sitting on my shelf for a long time. Brand new, never mounted.

I'm really itching to try it out.

Everything I've seen points toward it being a pretty good powerhouse.

Even on 4s it tosses my full aluminum stretched and widened savage around like nothing. Way over powered, able to do anything you would ever want a monster truck to do. 5 and 6s are just stupid.

2 wraps of the tape should work.

On a side note, my emaxx I pictured now has a mamba xl and I run a neu 1521 on 8s. At 30mph I punched it and did a complete backflip and kept on going

Nice threads!

I see you like the Beadlocks too. This is the first set that I've owned, but the thought of no glue is appealing to me.

Nice Emaxx you have there too. Sounds like power overkill in the 1717 and the 1521.

Here's a thought for you............

I have a collection of motors, both inrunner and outrunner type.

In my collection are several Medusa motors. Remember them?

How about a Medusa 3660 1500kv motor on 8S? Makes me wonder.

Medusas are good motors. I was really disappointed when they chose to stop manufacturing for the r/c world.

I imagine geared for about 40 that motor would work great on 8s. It does lack the mass of a 1717 or similar, and wouldn't be as "over the top" but it would definitely be a good setup. Most were using the 70 and 80mm versions on monster trucks.

Who knows till you try The temp gun will tell the tale

Medusa's are good motors.

I was running one of my Medusa 3660 1500kv motors in a E Revo and it kept snapping the driveshafts.

Here is the thread on it. http://www.rc-monster.com/forum/showthread.php?t=15934

ALOT of really good torque, even on 4S. Geared properly, it would be fun on HV.

I just read the thread. I definitely think it's time you try that motor on 8s!

When you said driveshafts I thought you were breaking real parts, not trx sliders

I finally got my bowtie beadlocks taped and mounted. I like these wheels. The 23MM Hexes should stand up to the torque. They sure have alot of screws LOL



But the BEST things is:

What I received in the mail today. 8S fun coming up!

Update!

Made some progress.

Purple over load. LOL

i love the 1717 on 6s in my muggy, the power is really insane, but i still feel like it could take more
