My opinion would be yes. Under the same conditions with the same gearing setup, I believe you’d have more power/ less heat from the castle.
What he saidHobbywing puts a hard limit on how much power their ESCs will handle to make them more user friendly, less hassle. The mmx8s will definitely allow for much MUCH greater power output.
Do you think the hobbywing 4985 1650kv would survive 8s and the MMX8s. I’d love to be able to just buy the esc. That 1717 does cost a lotIf you get the castle esc you don't have to run that over priced motor. It guess its better with the sensor cable and all but if youre just bashing around the cheap rocket or hobbystar motors are just fine.
I think @Mr.Duke runs his on 8s but with the max6. It will get hot, but from but there’s no lack of heat with the 1717 either. I don’t use data logging so am not sure if all the features would work with a non castle motor.Do you think the hobbywing 4985 1650kv would survive 8s and the MMX8s.

I’m thinking your best chance for bashing at 80-90mph would be an XLX2 2028 combo.I don't believe you can run 80-90 mph for too long without significant heat on any setup.
If you have no desires to go beyond 100mph regularly then Id stick with the HW setup. There are plenty of people who post about heat issues with the mmx8s / 1717
