Making a custom chassis is not a bad idea, but i would not run a single speed. Firstly because of the heat generated with motor braking, secondly if you are going to run huge gearing it cogs really badly. Better to run a two speed and have a smaller first gear to get it up and running and than the huge gear for 100MPH

I was running 6s on a spare MMM 2200 combo i had. I had it geard for 30/44 i think in second. I dont have a radar gun or GPS, traction was an issue and it will need a lot of room to get to a decent speed. You may need to soften the standard shocks and i would pull the diffs out and re oil and shim them. Body wise before you cut up wings and such just see how it goes.

Be careful, especially with speed runs as the big gearing will kill the motor.

If you are going to make a custom chassis remember before you drill anything to mount you motor and batteries to place the car on 4 scales and workout what the weights will be front to back and left to right. It will improve the handling a great deal
