Looks good so far. What ESC and motor are you using? Also what motor mount are you using? I just converted a Savage X without a transmission, So I'm not much help on gearing. Maybe the masters Finnster or Jthiessen will chime in on gearing. Will you be using Flux Lipo trays?

If you tell us the motor kv we can tell you what gearing to use...

A 13 tooth pinion puts you at 42mph on 6s and 28mph on 4s. That sounds perfect to me as a starting point. Temperarure of the electrical components is what you need to know to determine ideal gearing for any brushless setup.

Gearing a monster truck for about 40mph is an excellent starting point for determining proper gearing.

I got the mph figures by using BrianG's speed calculator. He is a moderator here at RCM and has developed an invaluable tool for the r/c hobbyist. It is an easy to use tool with drop down menus for inputting your parameters. It is found in a sticky titled "speed calculator" in the brushless section.

Using it you will never have to wonder about gearing again, here's a link to it:
