The truck is really limited on ESC and motor space, I think its about 125mm of space for both combined. The 1717 motor is 85mm long so that would leave about 40mm of space for a 6s capable ESC. I don't think there are any that small. There's not much room with a Tekin truggy motor which is nearly 10mm shorter than the 1717.
Edit: Possibly an RX8 could fit with the 1717 motor depending on exact measurements
