I don't think there's enough safety margin with a 3700mah 20c pack. The packs will most likely heat up and not last long. Also 6s is a bit much for the combo IMO. Yes it is rated to handle those RPMs but do you want to drive the truck or just watch it skidding on it's lid? IMHO to keep it driveable I would go with a 4s setup and get the biggest packs that you can stuff in the trays. Most 2s packs in the 6000mah range with a 20-25C rating fit. 4s will still get you 40+MPH yet the truck will be much more manageable. If you do decide to run 6s be prepared to gear down and destroy your body!

There is a link to a Savage flux(same esc/motor) running 6s. You can see that all it is really good for is wheelies and skidding
