KOKAM 4100 65c 2 x 3S Cells
This is all going to be shoe horned into a Kyosho Evolva M3 to make a 6 cell speed car. Target speed is 135mph.
Due to the stresses on the ESC I will have mechanical braking and also for acceleration a mechanical 2 speed gearbox. This will soften the load during the initial phase.
I'll post some pics of the build when it gets underway

If I am reading this right, you are going to run a 3040 off 6s lipo's with an MGM 250amp esc, This is right?
Depending on the KV of the motor (?), you'd never see second gear. The gearing needed, you don't need to worry about the motor or esc, I'd worry about the batteries. Not sure the esc will even run on 6s lipo, I'd check the minimum on the esc specs. I have a 2250/10t (1184kv) motor and its an absolute beast on 6s, Strong enough to snap a Twinforce w/center diff (51 tooth gear) buggy diffs and a 19 tooth pinion with truggy tires Like it isn't even there, I imagine the 3040 will be stronger. Good Luck getting it to fit, I believe, diameter wise, its bigger than a soda can. I will watch your progress.
