Anyone have a suggestion for a motor upgrade on the Typhon 3s BLX with stock ESC?

Speed control and motor. Suggestions? I don’t want to go anything extreme and start blowing apart gear boxes and diffs. Thanks!Not without upgrading the esc too.
They are on amazon prime right now for 40$Surpass 4068-2650kv w20-23t RIPPS ON 3S.IVE RUN 6S ON THEM NUMEROUS TIMES BEFORE IT BURNED.78mph pb before going airborne
Yes, went from the stock 15 to a 20. It has a 22 in there now. I've heard guys using up to the max of 26 but I'm not willing to toast the ESC to gain a couple MPH...Have you tried playing with pinions? I put a 20T pinion in my Typhon 3S and that’s kept me pretty happy.
Did you also use the Surpass ESC? 120A or 150A?Surpass 4068-2650kv w20-23t RIPPS ON 3S.IVE RUN 6S ON THEM NUMEROUS TIMES BEFORE IT BURNED.78mph pb before going airborne

Hoons white on my 4s typhon build. Need HD spur/slipper and hot racing diffs.I've run stock blx100 with stock 6s motor (4074-2050kv)with 26t back to back 3s packs in july in st Louis mid 90s++ without any esc damage.. it was the only way I could run my car in the summer Stock motor would overheat a quarter of the way through the pack.with 2050kv an 26t is about same top speed,but way more torque,no cogging,no overheating.worked for me,now both my 1/10 r blx185. 26t now,run um on 4S an they SCREAM.6s is uncontrollable unless huge smooth area....
Best 6s esc under 100$ imo--- hobbywing quicrun 150a. Can run 2,3,4,5,6s with it an can adjust 12 different things.5s is a nice option.motor all depends on your driving style.if you plan on higher than 3s you MUST run smaller tires that will SPIN a little OR YOU WILL CONSTANTLY BLOW REAR DIFFS.
Ideas for a good esc and motor combo. For my typoon 3s. I got the fima 130a esc. But I need to see where I can buy them together for a good matchNot without upgrading the esc too.
