Kraton Kraton motor upgrade

[Don'tPassSmash]

Already picked up an Esc and looking for a 1/5th scale motor. Someone sent me a link to this. Looks massive, Castle 1/5 2028 780kv. Anyone running 1/5 scale motors?

That chassis looks sweet. Cant help you with the Castle but Im leaning toward a Max6 and HS4092 or Leopard 4092, 1480kv. hopefully someone will chime in.

I've researched swapping in the 2028, but it's massive at 1250 grams by itself vs 400g for the BLX4074. By the time you factor in every piece involved (fast lane motor mount, XLX, 2 additional cells for 8s) it adds up to an additional 3lbs of weight added to the chassis, which leads to another larger problem, shocks and spring rate, or lack thereof.

This is the advice one should follow great setup
