james and others.. Have to edit what i said above on this..the seaking will be on edge with the 1717...i just remembered i took the seaking out and replaced it with a swordfish 240 and then ran the mean machine like this with no problems..sorry i go confused with a couple of my other setups..i was playing musical esc's at that point in time...so no i would not recommend the seaking with the 1717 on 6s...5 s would be fine though

You're going to need a bigger prop than what you can spin that fast on 6s. Its going to take a certain amount of power/watts to spin your prop, and with that low of voltaeg you are going to have too high of an amp draw.
Everyone is all over these Castle motors because of the low prices but I still think the Leopard 5692 is a great deal when it comes to power for dollar. The larger boats are better suited with the big can/low kv motors.Team Liquid DashComment

After my investigation, my opinion is that its about equal to a 1524...............just my opinion.NEED PARALLEL CONNECTORS?? QUALITY 5.5MM, 8MM, 8 AND 10 AWG, GET THEM HERE:http://forums.offshoreelectrics.com/...est!&highlight=

the thing is its a 1580kv motor and its really pushing it on 6s before it becomes an amp hog..trust me its got plenty of oomph but i just do not think it will get to fifty in that big of a hull...did you get the cut throat deal on the 1717? you could always try it and see how it goes and if its not fast enough then you still have a really good motor to push some smaller hulls around with..i have no experience with hydros though so i may be wrong with my speed..but i would think you would need a minimum of 7s to get that big boat to 50...my two cents and sorry for the thread clog earlier...i got a little excited because i have ran the 1717 a lot and i really think its a good motor..it runs super quiet unlike any other motor i have heard

I did buy two 1717 motors and two 1520's
I was told the 1520's are like the NEU 1521's and I think the guy at Castle said the 1717 is more like a 1527 but with more torque.NAMBA20...Caterpillar UL-1, P-Spec OM29, P-Mono DF33, P-Spec JAE, Aussie 33" Hydro-LSH, Sprintcat CC2028 on 8s, PT SS45 Q Hydro, PS295 UL-1 power, OSE Brothers Outlaw QMono 4-sale, Rio 51z CC2028 on 8sComment

i do enjoy sharing input when i think i can help...the 1717 is a definate beast..at 1/2 to 3/4 throttle it would pull my mean machine over backwards...and forget about punching it from a standstill...the 1520's are interesting too i think they would make nice twins in a big kitty"FE" STANDS FOR FRUSTRATING EXPLOSIONSComment

What about that 1/8th scale that was running a kb45 doing right around 50? I think on 6s you could hit 50 no problem. Light weight boat running less weight of packs 6s versus the weight of 8s,10s,12s. Don't forget he is talking the fastest least drag design hull (hydro) Well other than a rigger. I say go for it brushless55!FE BOATING: Less like a hobby and more like an addiction!Comment

Well if guys on here can get a 30+ inch shovelnose going 50 on a blackjack motor surely the 1717 would motivate your hull!FE BOATING: Less like a hobby and more like an addiction!Comment
