So this combo here?

Yep that should do it. I want to eventually go the Max6 route as well.

That’s the one all the cool kids run.

Any recommendations on gearing?

 

[bicketybam]

That is going to be a handful in the Notorious.

As far as gearing goes here are some hypothetical too speeds for various pinions:

15t - 51 mph
16t - 55 mph
17t - 58 mph
18t - 61 mph
19t - 65 mph
20t - 68 mph
21t - 71.5 mph

If you more examples let me know.

This was with a Max6 and 4985 on 6s with a 22t pinion. Fastest I got it up to with this setup on backflip tires was 74mph

Skip ahead 3 or 4 minutes

Thanks for this. How did you find it in comparison to the stock set up? Is it a straight forward install?

It’s overkill like others have stated. You’ll never wish it had more and if you’re heavy handed with the throttle it may not be the best choice. Geared up it requires more attention to how smooth you apply throttle or it will end up on its roof all the time. If that’s what you’re after, this should fit the bill.
As far as installation goes it’s straight forward. You “can” get away with shimming the v3 Motor Mount up a few mm but a v4 Motor Mount works without modifications so I’d recommend that. Other than that you’re gonna want to trim the rear of the plastic side guard and shave the lip off the ESC tray for easier mounting
