This must have been asked before (sorry) but what can size has more torque on equal sized KV's a 4092 or 4585 ??

A TP4040 has max power of 4200W. The Hobbywing (Arrma is a rebranded version of this) 4074 has max power of 2600W.Certainly not saying you're wrong but, that means allegedly a Spektrum 4074 has more power than a TpPower of the same size..
According to Arrma's website the Firma 2050kv motor makes 5050w scroll to the lower part of the page for the spec's, it's also a 1900kv and heavier in weight than the equivalent TP motor..A TP4040 has max power of 4200W. The Hobbywing (Arrma is a rebranded version of this) 4074 has max power of 2600W.
I think the term is the same across the two camps, but sometimes without the understand that torque influences power and is specific to a moment in time, not a broad spec for all the motor. As far as to power there isnt necessarily a proportional relationship.What exactly do you mean by most torque? Highest peak rotational force generated at any point in the RPM range? Torque curve with the sharpest rise from zero, giving the strongest launch off the line, but not necessarily the highest peak? I wish there wasn't so much confusion between the technical and colloquial understanding of the word as it might make these questions clearer.
That would mean the Firma 2050kv is almost as powerful as a 4985 with 5700W….According to Arrma's website the Firma 2050kv motor makes 5050w scroll to the lower part of the page for the spec's, it's also a 1900kv and heavier in weight than the equivalent TP motor..

OP asked about torque, but the discussion has been about power.
I wondered about this too. I want to believe a TP 4060 is better than a ezrun 4985. I know for sure the tp 4070 is better, no contest. Funny enough, wifey typhon had a tp 4060 1750kv + a max 6. I ended up swapping out the tp motor because she didn't like how loud it was. I put in the ezrun 4985 and had them geared similarly and asked her what she thought. She thought the typhon didn't accelerate as fast with the 4985 compared to the TP 4060. She liked the noise difference thoughMy original question may have been worded badly to some.
Example.. I know a 4985 can size has more torque than lets say a 4078 can but the two can sizes I chose above are very popular motor sizes for upgrades and I'm curious as to which is better ?? Obviously if space is a constant then you would choose the one that fits best for your application.
Hobbywing use the 4985 can in their Max6 Combo and not a 4092, there must be a reason for that ??
Quite a few of my motor upgrades are 4092 can size (TpPower) as an example don't really use the 45 or 49 can size (their motors just get longer..)
I'm not sure if hobbywing makes it own motors? I always thought the difference was that hobbywing makes it's own motors, including the 4985 size, and the surpass/rocket/hobbystar brands make their sizes (including the 4092), but i'm not 100% positive on that.My original question may have been worded badly to some.

Long story made short, it is just what she said..... Bigger is always better.@LibertyMKiii
That was mega helpful but at the same time confusing
K-Bash, hey man. Posted a few inquiries about a TP4040 motor I'm trying to use on speed runs but a few people telling me it will burn the MMX8S ESC. Its a 3770 and I wanna run it on a hmmmm say Talion. What are you thoughts?I've surpassed max wattage for about every tp I've owned.had a tp4050 that would put out over 8000w....5000w motor. Quality,power,longevity is worth spending extra 50$.I've had over 15 tp,it's all I'll buy
