Hobbywing EZRun MAX6 G2 Sensored Brushless ESC & Motor Combo
So far so good.
I had 3 of the older max6v3's in service and my kraton had the max6v3/4985-1650kv combo in it. I had run into issues where the esc truck would stop and the esc would show a 5 green blink led code. I couldn't find anywhere what that meant, but did find in the firma160 manual that it was the capacitors overheating. So, I added an 1800uf x 6 cap pack which seemed to help. It would still stop on occasion, but had to be a 80F+ day and usually during the end of the 2nd or middle of the 3rd 6200mah pack run through it, back to back.
With a coupon, I was able to get the g2 system for $220 shipped, so figured I'd give it a shot.
Installation went ok, I cut about 3 inches off the motor wires as they were much longer than the old 4985's and I didn't want to have all that wire flopping around. After some creative ziptie'ing, I was able to get the sensor wire/motor wires all buttoned up nicely. I had to reroute my motor cooler fans to the receiver though as the max6g2 doesn't have a fan/program port on it like the old one. I replaced the fan in the esc with a surpass/rocket alloy framed 35mm fan. It fit in without much issue. I run that off the receiver power also so it's always on. The motor has a Powerhobby PHMount03 fan holder with 2 40mm surpass/rocket alloy framed fans. The BEC set to 7.4V. I'm also running a HobbyStar HCS-4521 servo.
Bluetooth worked well on my bench. I kept the same gearing as before (20T pinion) as that's enough speed for me, I set the punch/brake the same as the max6v3. I didn't wire in the cap pack as I wanted to see how this did on it's own. After running a pack through it, I wanted to change some settings and see what the "log" showed. I had run the pack to LVC and apparently it won't link when at LVC. I plugged in a fresh pack, then I was able to link and make adjustments. TBH, I was fine using the program box on the old one.
With the punch set similar to the old system, I found that the throttle felt muted and the brakes were too aggressive, 50% punch/50% brake. I increased the punch one notch and decreased the brakes one notch, then it felt more familiar. Still a hair on the lazy side, but once I got used to it, it was ok. I don't like running super high punch as it just beats up the drive train and since I don't ever try doing standing backflips, I just put the punch up to as high as I need it to get it to respond well in the air and off the face of a jump.
I ran 1 5200mah 120C and 2 6200mah 40C packs through it back to back with the only downtime being when my pinion loosened/slid forward and my front cvd popped out of the diff cup. Otherwise it was constantly in motion. I only have one bash on it so far, so will see how it does as time goes on.

Hobbywing EZRun MAX6 G2 Sensored Brushless ESC & Motor Combo
Great powerful esc with built in bluetooth. Absolutely no complaints. And with lots of adjustability. I bought this system for the new Team Associated sr7 Hoonicorn and it’s a perfect fit with no mods necessary.
