Traxxas 6s esc vs 4s motor?

[DogeChaga]

Hey guys! I am working on a project, i know it will be ridiculously overpowered, but i am going to try it anyway and see what happens. I have a traxxas bandit, and i want to go 6s and gear it to the moon, literally just to play with. Problem is there are few motors that can handle 6s and fit in a 1/10 scale car at the same time. Does anyone know how substantial the traxxas 2400kv motor is, and of it could handle the 6s traxxas esc? Also, i plan on putting the pro series 2wd drag slash transmission in to handle the power. I am already running a 78/31 spur/pinion, so its pretty lively on 3s.

I know quite a few run the 2400kv on 6S in their maxx without much issue. Just needs a decent fan.

You can find 3665-3675 sized motors that are rated up to 6S. They are just a lower kv. 2200kv or less.

Thanks for the links! I wouldn’t know where to start looking.

So basically the lower the kv the more power it can handle?

From what I understand, sort of, or at least where torque is in the RPM range. The motor size seems to have more to do with overall torque. The KV is more to stay within a specific RPM range for the cell count you want to run. If your limited to a 36mm diameter motor, going from a 60mm to a 70mm or 74mm long should give you more torque.

This guy explains kv vs torque pretty good:

Thank you again for the tips!
