I've learned you need torque to run taller gearing, the 1717's have that which means I can push taller gearing and go faster. My issue then becomes radio range and gearing.
I think youd be better off running one larger motor. Even one of those can produce insane amounts of power! But I think Kershaw Designs or RC Monster makes things to run big ol beer can sized motors! Sounds bad azz though!
