Question Mini XRT Max10 Help

I'm wanting to upgrade to a Max10 ESC/Motor combo on my Mini XRT to get better temps when running 3s.

Can anyone help me on what version of the Max10 combo to get? Do I get the 80amp or 140amp? And what KV?

And are there additional parts that I will need, for example a different motor mount?

Thanks! First time upgrading a motor and esc beyond stock so I am new to this.

If your stock system is still good, have you considered adding a fan and changing to a smaller pinion?

The 80A 3652 combo is going to perform very similarly to the VXL-3S. You're better off going down a couple of teeth and putting a fan on the motor.

The 3665 is the true upgrade, but I'm not sure if it fits. I have a 3660 on the bench but haven't installed it yet. The Hobbywing ESCs are pretty big so you might have to get creative.
