Man you want to know everything about this truck! I dont blame you cuz I would want to know everything possible about a r/c car I was considering too. Well for looks and strength deck your rustler out with the GPM aluminum hop ups. For speed get a Electronic Speed Control and a Modified motor. Get new tires too and maybe a body for looks if you prefer. http://www.gpmracing.com/

I don't know bout a 17T but I have a 13T in my Rustler and I can easily beat the cars that go down my street. I have a Tekin Rebel speed control. It flies! All motor's speed varies from company to company so an estimate is hard to say. Plus gearing affects speed. I myself have an 18 teeth pinion and like a 87 teeth spur with dirt hawg tires! A 17T made by one company may be faster than a 15T made by another company. The lower the turn the faster is just the rule of thumb.
