Thanks Kevin I `ve been trying to get this motor for a while I just order and paid for a leopard 4082 / 1500 from kershaw , now just need to wait for it to get here , so i can play with my Spartan .

the CC1717 does fit, a little snug with the water jacket
almost the same kv as the CC1520 1600kv

Brushless I got the air CC1717 1500 KV what size prop are you running on yours ? Im also got a T180 , 40c 6s 5000 lipos that i willl be using .

with that motor I would start with a 45mm prop and work your way up to 50mm
and it looks like your going to run 6s2p 10,000mah
lots of amps man
good job!

I meant two 3s 5000 in series oh well i might go with two 6s in parallel but i would need a bigger esc like a hydra 240 or swordfish

Oh ok, so two 3s 5000mah 40c in series..

running parallel has nothing to do with needing a bigger esc

[mavdriver]

Got it was thinking if i go bigger prop

[Brushless55]

Go can go upto a 50mm prop with this motor on with two 6s 6000mah 40c packs if you want on that esc
But do run a external bec os some sort just for more insurance on the esc..

[mavdriver]

Sounds good will run external bec .

Do you think Torque roll would be an issue with that size prop?

not much at all with a 45mm but getting to 50mm there could be some?

Looks like the hampton 1717 waterjacket doesnt fit correctly on the CC1717 air motor way to loose maybe it needs bigger O rings i also notice the air motor has the each side of can flat not completely round is the car motor has fins that are round around the motor ?

[Brushless55]

yeah, the air motor is made for the T-Rex 600
and needs to fit in the chassis

[mavdriver]

so my guess would be is that i need fatter O rings if i want to use the water jacket .

[Brushless55]

yes, give it a shot
