It would help if we knew your intended use. There is a wide variety of uses and motors accordingly.

Still running stock electronics. Benefits are more power to rip. Upgrading esc depends on what aftermarket motor you go with.

I run a Hobbywing 4985 1650kv motor with a Castle Mamba Monster 2.

Just asking what the benefits are? Is it worth doing what your opinions that’s all

Max6 with 4092/1650kv..?

Benefits are torque torque and more torque ????

The benefits of an upgraded motor and ESC is more power which results in more wear and tear on the differentials, drive cups, and axles. Then you get the added benefit of extra weight that tears up A-Arms, shock ends, and suspension links faster.

I run the Hobbywing Max 6 with 1650 kv motor. Had upgrade center diff after 1st run with HR case.

Hw 4985/hex6 (max6) combo. Benefits, violence.

I put 10kW setups in my cars for 8s. Just saying heavy = new problems. Sometimes light weight is best!

Not a kraton, but I put a max6 in my outcast with the stock motor in hopes that I can gear up a tooth or two for a bit more grace distance to clear some jumps at my bmx track. As it is, the blx185 overheats if I gear higher than a 13T after about 10 minutes. The grass track and trenchers add drag... I only bumped up to a 14T for now, won't know how it does until it warms up out and stops raining long enough.

Depending on how long it takes to be able to go outside with a lower likelihood of dying if I meet someone, I may repurpose the BLX185 for my stampede 4x4 vxl as it overheats too.

I ran a 15t on the stock blx 185 combo, running a 20t with the max 6 and 1650kv.

Max 6 ,4985 23t pinion perfect temps all day.

Could any body confirm the weight of the Hobbywing 4985? according to specs its about 50 grams heavier than a 4092 which doesn't sound bad at all for the extra power it should offer. I'm using the stock chassis so not looking to add too much weight.

 

[3d-rc.myshopify.com]

I can't give you the weight but I can say that motor is over kill. I rarely see half throttle.

Idk about you but anything over that and the truck just wants to flip over backwards.
