Just IMO, but you do realize that you are setting up a way overpowered system there, right?

At 2750kv you are spinning the motor at 50,000rpm. The Neu can handle the rpms, no doubt, but that speed will require very high gearing. Even at 12/46 you are still up over 50mph.

And with the battery weight of a 5S 5000mAh (639grams) and 5S 6000mAh (754grams) you are going to have two problems - 1) the car will be way to heavy with 2lbs of batteries that Amp draw will go way up and 2) it will be too heavy on the battery side compared with the motor side.

I would go with 4S for this setup, and I usually add motor plus receiver plus servo (obviously depending on where you mount everything) to calculate the approx. battery weight I am looking for to get a good balance, and then try to stay within 50-100 grams of that weight.

For 1512F that would be about 290g+20g+60g=370g with mounting hardware call it around 400g. I would try to keep you battery below ~500g for good balance.

For a 4S pack that would put you in the range of a 4500-5000 mAh battery. I think going up to 6000 would again be putting a bit much weight on (1/2lb heavier on one side that the other).
