Thanks Kcaz25
I was just playing around on Photobucket.

Yeah my poor little MERV was low riding.

My motor mount is skimpy looking where the 3mm bolts fit! I was afraid to take any more material off to fit the 4mm, but I was thinking of doing it all the same.
Thanks!

If anyone here bought the 6mm version 1717 and doesn't want it or need it let me know. I have a Boat project that will LOVE that motor.

Hi, any news about the 5mm shaft availability ?

Can someone confirm that all the new 1717 motors will be shipped with 5mm shaft ?

Besides, will be the new shaft a full-5mm one or it will be reduced from 6 to 5 just on the part coming out from the can (just to know if the bearings will be the same of 15xx motors) ?

Bye, Andrea.

Has anyone cut the wire length down on the 1717 motor? I know on Castle's site it says OK TO SHORTEN WIRES but I want to be sure before I do.

It's cool, go for it ! I chopped an inch off mine as well.

Dont cut more than couple inches though, the wires might have a coating that makes soldering impossible.

I retired from RC, now life is all about guns and long range shooting.

Hmm I need to cut them by half, hopefully that won't be a problem.

I'd call tech help to insure you have no problems. I'd almost bet you will not but if you get into that stuff I'm refering to Good Luck !
