You’re fine to run stock it fits no problem 20-23t pinion for the Mojave with that setup. GL

Welcome

As stated the stock is fine. I have the same setup in a few 6S rigs. One option, and NOT required, change out the top motor mount screws to cap heads. Since you need to torque down on them, many here avoid the stock that could wear out the shallow stock screw head.

Just a suggestion those are easily found at a hardware store as well. Just be mindful of the screw length to be the same

I've seen a few pics here in the forum with some really trick looking screws and washers, any leads on those? I just put the 4985 in my fire team, and I'm liking the advice you're offering here. I might run off to the hardware store tomorrow when I swap pinions out

From the picture it looks like you did the epoxy mod around the esc motor plugs? I was watching some videos and someone mentioned doing it bc they were a lil easy to pop out on big jumps and crashes.

There are nicer ones out there, but I need to search to find them like you not sure where the others got them from.

None have popped out on me before they are a snug fit. In my pic, I have a JB Weld, a temperature probe to the ESC heat sink mount. I have a visible temp display mounted to read the temp vs. taking off the body and using a temp gun. In that pick, nothing was used to the ESC motor bullets
