Looks great man, i actually have Hobby Wings version of that esc in my kraton now with the 1717 motor. I opted for it over the Nero Esc bc with the hb version it is fully programmable with the tuning card. I am going with a 19th to start , just ordered a JR 9100T Servo used to throw in it also.
I run a 14t pinion on my 4092 1730kv and it's a monster on 6s. I have a 16t in waiting but I'm not sure yet...
I have to use a generous amount of blue lock-tight on the pinion grub screw. When I didn't, both on my Kraton and Senton, the pinion would loosen and slide back and start eating the motor mount.
I use a Loctite gel that works good
Too much of a good thing?
How does it mount to the chassis ? & do they make on big enough for a 1717 Castle Motor by any chance?Add a water jacket sleeve like this:
It takes a lot of the stress off the mounting screws.

I drilled and tapped mine yesterday,took about 20 mintues for both.
I think leaving the gap is a better idea,as the chassis can flex that far on jumps.
Not yet , I just got my new servo the other day installed Jr9100T so it has a ton of torque now. This is a slow project that's been really hard for me to get to work on with work everyday and vacation coming up as i'll be traveling to florida and plan to get engaged. So i have had no time. I tried doing a bit to it over the weekend but it looks like i'll need to raise the top center diff plate now or cut the notches out under it and add some spacers as it rubs the center gear now since i raised the center diff to fit the motor. Should be a few more weeks until i get it all together but i have a small feeling that the center diff wont be able to support the weight of the 1717.
Thanks man , i actually had a 1/5th Losi Brushless conversion some time back , but i am sad to say i bought it locally and it was already built at the time. It is a beast of a truck but honestly for me it was too big to be able to take out whenever i wanted and it got very expensive when i wanted more lipo's so i decided to stay in the 1/8th size range as it is just easier for me and suits my needs these days with the limited time i have to run and work on them. I'm wishing you luck though , they are really fun and super easy to wrench on. I'll check kershaw though , i have used a few of there items also in the past on my Savage. Ty
