Kraton Help me out with gearing and a 1717

[justpassedu]

So I came across a 1717 castle motor , I believe they are 1650kv . I know it's not meant for the Kraton but I want to throw in there for some testing. Can you guys reccomend me a good pinion size with the stock spur , maybe a few options to reach over 65mph ? , I have 4s ,5s and 6s Lipos. I'd like to be around 50+mph on the 4s and 65+ using the 5 or 6s .

sick.

I'm kinda in the same boat with my Leopard 4092 1730kv.

I am starting with 14t but think i will have to go a fair bit bigger.

Running only 6s

@justpassedu try starting with a 17t or 18t pinion.

Sounds good , that leopard is gonna be fast. Oh @WoodiE do you know what kind of speeds i would be averaging with that gearing combo on 4s,5s & 6s by any chance ?

i tried 14t and 6s and it was really quick compared to what i am used to. FUN!

Swapped it for 16t and hoping to be able to run it tomorrow.
