Ok I'll go on to the next step in case its easier just to figure out the whole thing at once.

ESC - Mamba Max
Motor - don't know... when I look at the calculator it usually comes up a Wanderer 8XL but I'm not sure I'm entering all the info properly..(like for speed and gearing I'm just kinda guessing). I don't mind using a fan and such but don't want to fight heat problems. I don't need to blow away nitros with top speed. Track is I would say medium sized with one straight. Its an electric friendly track. Again I'm guessing but my feeling is that I'll be tons quicker so I don't need the the same top speed. Would you agree?
Batteries - 15 min mains is all I need for batteries. If I can find another 6000 to match mine I will use that. If not I'm leaning towards the True RC (2) 7.4V 15C 6400 or the (2) Trakpowers. I want to be able to use them in my other vehicles and these will fit. One major question here is I plan on 14.8V but can I get a system that would work great on 14.8 and pretty good on 7.4V. I'm guessing probably not but thought I'd ask anyway.
