Do not get maxamps packs, they are guaranteed to fail. I cannot warn you away quick enough from them.

If you are serious about 100, I wouldn't waste your time on 6s and the 2200. Go right to the 1518 or 1520 and do 8s.

The 2200 will get you there, but on 6s geared high it starts overheating easily. That car weighs a fair amount and having a bigger motor will be a benefit.

Like Overdriven said, if you want to gear for around 50-60 on 6s with the 2200 you will probably be fine. It's just that the difference in power to go from 50 to 100 does not double, it compounds. Do some researching on aerodynamics and such and you will find how much resistance compounds going that fast.
