I installed the Castle MMX 8s ESC with 1717 1650 motor with 18T pinion last week, but it has been too cold or snowy to run it other than on the work stand. Today was the first day I was able to get it outside for a quick five-minute run. This 1650kv motor has some serious power - just for grins I mashed the trigger quickly, and my Kraton 6s did a reverse backflip from a complete stop onto the top of the vehicle. And this was only on 4s! Thankfully, this happened on grass so nothing got damaged. I can foresee at least a 20T pinion sometime in the future to tame the Kraton a bit, especially if I decide to run 6s.
