With the 6.5 on 5s lipo you may have issues. Kv is around 3000 for the 6.5, so with 18.5v input it will be spinning around 55,500rpm. It may get hot, depends on gearing.

Will you leave the 2 speed and mech brakes? If so then I would suggest 11/40 gearing. The tekno mount will not allow that low gearing, so you will have to go with the rcm mount. Better chioce IMO.

The hv motor will not like the added load of locking the tranny in second.
