safe to run a 1717 on 4S in a truggy? pics included

Well I finally got a chance to time my runs. I'm a pretty disappointed with the results.



On 4S 25c 5000mah Hyperion I was able to get 13 mins. On 6S 40c 4500mah Zippy I was able to get 15 mins. My 6S setup is pretty old and the batteries are probably near their end of life. I assume with some new quality batteries I can get more run time, but I'm doubting I can get 5 more mins.



The truck is heavy no doubt, but I haven't weighed it. I ran it for one session with a pair of 4S hooked up in parallel and was able to make 20 mins no problem, but that really made it heavy. I ended up bending the rear shock tower and ripping it from the bulkhead after tumbling a few too many times.
