My flux lost MPH when I switched to the 1717, using the same voltage and same gearing. Granted it has insane power now, but the top speed is definitely not the same.

My 1717 will pull 25/44 gearing with the high speed idler like it's free spinning. The motor is barely warm after a full battery pack of bashing through thick grass, dirt and speed runs/backflips on asphalt.
What lipos are you using on the 1717 motor? 6S?
I know the motor is rated by castle for 6s but can it take 7s or 8s and play on grass safe?
