The Max series has been a staple of the HOBBYWING line up for many years.
It's gone through some changes and this is to help clarify the timeline. It can be confusing as there are "v2", and G2, and G3 items in the series and none of them are quite plug and play.

The basics:
The original Max 10, and Max 10 SCT were out for many years. The Max 10 SCT was the "heavy duty" version with higher spec ratings. They were paired with EZrun series motors. These were some of the best Sensorless setups available for many years.

The "v2" and "G2" shift.
Both were eventually replaced by the Max 10 v2 and the Max 10 SCT v2, that updated the ESC to have a 2 pin Temperature Sensor plug on the ESC. This was also added to the EZRun motors in the "G2" series. This added temperature sensor provided some extra protection.
The EZrun G2 motors were sensorless motors, with the added temp sensor, to work with the Max 10 v2, and Max 10 SCT v2 sensorless (with Temp Sensor) ESCs. Simply put, the "v2" ESC with G2 motor.
The ESC's and motors had some other minor differences beyond their amps and voltage ratings.
Motor Bullet Plugs
The Max 10, and Max 10 v2, had 3.5mm motor bullet plugs.
The EZrun 3652, and EZrun 3652 G2 motors, had 3.5mm bullet plugs.
Both series had 1/8 motor shafts.
The Max 10 SCT, and the Max 10SCT v2, had 4mm motor bullet plugs.
The EZrun 3660, and EZrun 3660 G2 motors, had 4mm bullet plugs.
Bot series had 5mm motor shafts.

The Replacements:
The Max 10, Max 10 SCT, Max 10v2, and the Max 10 SCT v2, have been discontinued.
The Ezrun 3652, EZrun 3652, EZrun 3660, and EZrun 3660G2 have been discontinued.
The Max 10 G2 80 Amp, replaces the Max 10 , and Max 10 v2
The Max 10 G2 140 Amp replaces the Max 10 SCT and Max 10 SCT v2.
The EZrun 3652 G3 replaces the EZrun 3652 series.
The EZrun 3660 G3, replaces the Ezrun 3660 series.
The G3 motors and G2 ESC's mentioned here, all have 4mm bullet plugs.
The 3652 motors still have 1/8in shafts, while the 3660 motors still have 5mm shafts.
The currently produced and available G2 ESC and G3 motors go together, and are fully sensor based with a waterproof 6 wire sensor harness. They can be used with other Non Sensor based setups just like anything else. The sensor wire simply does not get used and should be protected.
