anyoneelse have stuff to share? I'm still waiting for a 5mm rotor so i can't do anything until I get that done.

Nothing new here. I got my 6mm mod 1 10t pinion in though and it looks good. It's REALLY long though. Might have to do some cutting.

Muggy Mk. II is waiting...rather impatiently.

A 1515 ran my Muggy just fine, although I now have a 1520 in it. I have not ran it yet, waiting for better weather and have been focused on racing for the winter.

i plan on running the 1520 aswell, will be plenty of motor for the muggy

[Unsullied_Spy]

1515 works "fine," 1520 does it better, 1717 does it best What's the point in dropping that much money on a motor if you can't flip it on command at 60 MPH?

I would like to see how the 1717 does in my Muggy I bet it's awesome. But still needs that 5mm shaft...

The 1717 is a great Muggy motor. I wasn't able to get mine to mesh with my 13T pinion so I had to put my 16T pinion. According to the gearing calc that's over 60 MPH on 6s lipo and the power was insane, never got enough traction to wheelie but it would accelerate like it's hair was on fire! The hottest ambient temp I ever ran it in was around 10 above and the motor never warmed up enough to be noticeable (in that weather, that's kinda DUH! though). Come Summer time I expect it will be a great motor for those of us with big, heavy trucks though.
