Default m18 pro speed

I just read a review on the m18pro and in that review they had a quark 33amp esc, a cobalt b brushless motor and a 6 cell battery. With these things on it it had a top speed of 43 mph. What im trying to figure out is how fast will it go with a dynamite c4 9200 motor instead of the trinity one. The trinity motor is 5800kv and the dynamite motor is 9200kv. Any help will be good, thanks.

Probably 4-5 miles. Higher kvs though aren't as smooth as lower kvs at low end. So it may be harder to control when starting up.

I thought the wraith didnt have a 2mm shaft? I think a Hyperion yc-6000kv short can would be another good choice. Its a larger motor than the Dynamites or Mambas and has lots of torque, so it wouldn't get as hot. Which in turn would allow a larger gearing range.
