Here is a pic of my new XB-E with a Castle creations 1717 brushless motor installed. I upgraded my radio system to a Spectrum DX3S and due to that I had to upgrade my steering servo also. " Stock steering servo is not a digital one and wouldn't work with the DX3S"


This car is just a monster now with this new motor..
 
What the stock gearing it goes about 45-50 mph now. I haven't got to test the battery life do to I live in Minnesota and it wont f***king stop snowing :)
 
Why does my 1717 look different than yours? Mine has open endbells


EDIT: Because I am a dork and ordered the "Air" version! LOL

I ordered the car version and received the air version. At first I thought it was my mistake but I found proof I ordered the car version. I contacted castle and they fixed it for me. They even sent a mailer so I could return the incorrect item. Castle has awesome customer support.
 
That they do, It was my mistake. I rechecked the order and sure enough I ordered the "air" version. They were happy to swap it out with a car version, all I had to cover was the shipping. No biggie there as it was purely MY fault. lol
