Hobbywing Vs Castle Vs TP Power
Hi guys,
I just can't decide what would be the best upgrade for my Kraton...
I'm currently running a Hobbywing Max 6 on 6s, with a Rocket 4092 1650kv motor. To be honest it's actually a great setup, the motor was cheap as chips but I can get around 60mph on road, and 45mph on grass... No heat issues whatsoever.
However
I'm always on the quest for more speed, and would love to get 60mph on short grass. I just can't decide between any of these 3 motors. Which one would you pick?
#1: Hobbywing 4985 1650kv
#2: Castle 1717 1650kv
#3: TP Power 4070 2080kv (CM version is too expensive)
Thanks for any advice!

Id go with a not so wide tire then gear up what you have.. the 2200kv motor in 1/8 scale will also help

Well, I went for the TP. Let's hope its up to the task!

The TP motor is up to the task, but whether or not the Max6 is, is a different story. It's a power hungry motor at 260amps maximum, although that's most likely running 8S lipo
If the Surpass motor had no heat problems, then throwing on the biggest pinion possible shouldn't be a problem
Oh and in regards to the TP "CM" series motors. They're for speed runs/drag racing, not suitable for bashing
