You are better off with 4s 5k with the mmm and either the 2200 or the 2650. Either will work fine.
Agreed. a 1515 is definitely excessive for a buggy. And 6s 5000mah is going to be super heavy (nearly 1.5 pounds). You'll have the heaviest buggy on earth.

If for some reason you really want the 1515 2200kv motor I'd suggest running 5s 4000mah or something to keep weight down. The excessive motor will also cause unnecessary battery drainage resulting in unnecessarily short run times. What seems to be becoming the "standard" is a 1512/2D 2650kv motor on 4s 5000mah pack. That will give you overall acceptable weight and probably 22-23ish minutes of bashing run time (about 16-17 minutes of hard racing)

What you mentioned will work - but you could be notably lighter and more battery efficient with a slightly different setup.
