that motor is over kill.. even for my 1/5th firehammer m/t... i'd get the 500-700 gram outrunner.....
it's pointless getting that outrunner and running off of those batteries and that ESC...
ESC can handle about 4400 watts.. and batteries could only output 2600 Watts... :) that's enough to make your car boogie.. batteries and ESC are good.. but I would get a different motor...
When I hooked that motor to a steel block (just for testing).. I ran it off of 6S 5000 mah 25C lipo, I couldn't even hold the outrunner... so for sure, it will chew your truck up on the first run... :)
Even a 12XL was able to chew up the center diff on my 20+Lbs truck.... imagine what that could do...
