The numbers look good. But...........there's always a but. LOL

That's one huge gear ratio. 2.85:1

You've chosen a lower kv outrunner. A big one, and that should help. Running it on 8S will get your top speed up to the really fun range.

You need an ESC with a great startup routine. I don't have any experience with that one. Metalman does I believe.

On the brakes, this is where you have to be creative. On my Revo, I had considered moving the mechanical brake to the diff pinion. There is a kit for the Revo that allows for this. I wonder if there is something like this available for the T maxx?
