Those numbers sounds a little optimistic (as usual on the web). A 1/8 scale 6S system, like the Mamba Monster 2200kv combo, typically puts out around 2000 watts (2.7hp). The 1717 about 30% more (3.5 hp).
Your guess is just about right though. A twin setup would theoretically give you 5.4hp then.

The wheels are 105.5mm tall but I'm sure with the wear they have received there around 102-103mm however I do have a brand new set that I'll be running next time, so those are 105.5mm.
I was reading last night that the castle versions from the 1512-1717 are rated to 5-6hp. Something tells me that would be the 1717 with that figure but idk. I've always guessed that I'm running between 6-7 hp in my setup.
