Don't take this the wrong way Irish, but this has been discussed many times before in response to your own questions. And in many different threads, just about every XXL2e related thread in this section! The answer remains the same, no XXL2e specific mounts, there's only LST mounts that require a nitro/gas main chassis plate and side rails.
If you don't want to go through that conversion contact rc-monster about making a XXL2e specific mount. The XXL2e isn't that different so it's probably just a few minor changes (the chassis mounting pattern and maybe a slight change to the base) to the mount he currently offers. But he'll need the main chassis plate with everything on it to verify fitment. Idk what he'd charge but I'd think it would at least be discounted since you're sending your vehicle to him to do prototyping for a product he can sell. Just be sure to tell him you want the mount to be able to fit a 1717, not sure if the current mount is tall enough for a 1717.
Beyond that, keep waiting for someone to make a XXL2e specific mount or make your own. Get some 3-4mm thick aluminum "L" and start cutting and drilling. Took me 20min to make mine, another 10min to make it pretty with rounded edges and such.
