Doing a Brushless Conversion. Advice Please.

[spiftacu1ar]

Hi, I am going to start my brushless conversion next week. I am starting with my existing Savage, and outfitting it.

The truck I am starting with: savage ss 4.6 with FLM extended LCG TVP's. Big joe wheels + tires. Alum corners, but plastic arms. Alum bulkhead. X SS diffs (4-spider, allow case). JR 400oz/in steering servo.

SO far, this is what I have done:
Removed all nitro related components, ditched the 3speed, and removed throttle servo.
I have a Kershaw direct drive and MMM 2200kv combo on order. (both should arrive some time next week)
I had dan customize my gearbox so that the motor will mount in the front. This will leave enough room in the rear for batteries (~5.75" length battery MAX). I did this so that the batt's would be safe inside the TVP's and not be affected by collisions and such.

All I have left to get is the batteries. I am not sure whether I should go with 6s, 5s, or 4s battery. The kershaw gearbox has a lower internal ratio than the stock transmission (3rd gear), and I am running with 13t pinion and 52t spur.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.


Thank you in advance,
Sutyen
