Vague, much.

The MMM ( MambaMonster ) would be the idea esc, no question, along with 6s lipo since the 1717 is a rather low kv motor. Ideally the lipos ( either a pair of 3s or a single 6s ) should be atleast 30-40c 5000mah packs to provide enough current- depends n the layout you go for / need to use based on the chassis; pictures of the bare truck are a must.

Gearing will depend on what is available for the truck, or what can be made to fit- the MP uses a center spool arrangement so I'm guessing MOD1.0 gears, hopefully other ofna spurs may fit but you need to see what optional spurs for the MP you can find to get some idea of the pinions needed..

Charger depends on your budget- something which can do 2 packs at once is always nice, though powerful chargers like that need a separate power supply whihc is extra wiring and expense. You could go for a basic single channel charger for much less money with a built-in PSU but charge times for a single 3s lipo will be one hour or more, for a 6s more like 2 hours- some idea of your budget is a must.
