    How can that be? The 1717 is much smaller then the 2215...
    How has your train of thought arrived at this conclusion? Just curious.

      I'm thinkin more comparable with the 1521, maybe the 1527?

        Looks to be wider than the 15 series Neu motor but shorter.

          well... like the name suggests, it has a stator dia. of 1.7 inches wide and a rotor that's 1.7 inches long, when the 2215 has a stator that's 2.25 inches wide and a rotor that's 1.5 inches long.

            So what do you think will produce more power, a 1527 or the 1717?

              Brian Buaas has done some testing on the 1717. I remember him saying he has " huge expectations for the 1717 " He was testing it in a 6s rigger.

                On a side note, where are you guys getting these Feigao motors? Is there a board vendor I should be supporting?

                    Haha, I'm an idiot, I didn't know there was an OSE store, thought it was just a forum :)

                    Thanks!

                      I think the 1717 will blow the 1527 out of the water... it's a different design, it has more poles and bigger mass... I am curious as how much the Kv is... also if there are other 17xx motors (not the 04 and 06) and the specs.

                        More poles in the 1717? I never pulled my rotor out before it got stolen, but I'm pretty sure it's still a 4 pole/12 slot motor. They are insanely powerful though, I had one in a ~14 pound Losi Muggy conversion geared for 60 MPH top speed and it would accelerate to that speed as fast as traction would allow. I've never run a 1527 but that 1717 knocked the socks off my 80mm Medusa, which is a heck of a motor.

                          Ok so like I originally said, I think this motor will be a great alternative to the 2215 at over half the price

                            Well I was reading the description today on OSE and Steven recommends using only 4s with this motor in a boat. Is that because the lack of cooling? Does anyone one know if there will be a water jacket available for this motor?

                              I guess so... but it has less power then the 22xx's... but yes, in certain circumstances it could be a good choice instead of the 2215

                                It is stated that the 1717 motor has a suggested 6s max voltage on the CC site. 1580 kv.
