Yes, your 17.5ss will be just fine with that speedo. You can run down to an 8.5 with the XBR.

Hi,
Could I run a 7.5 or 6.5 with a XBR if I was only using 4 cells (12th scale). Thanks

The limit on that speedo is an 8.5, so I guess that would be a no.

OK its just that the specs said 8.5 (6cell) thats all but thanks anyway.

If you want an answer from Novak, go to the ask Steve Weiss thread and ask him, but I am guessing he will say the samething.

I've run a 7 turn "Light" motor on an original Super Sport and it makes race time (5-6 minutes) without thermalling. But that was off-road. I'm not sure what would happen on-road. And I do have a fan on the ESC.

(Yes, 7 turn - it is a custom modification - half 6.5 and half 7.5, with less wire than an "R" motor. The winding was calculated out to equal the resistance of the 8.5 but be a little "softer")
