Gear for about 30-35mph. That will lessen the load on the lipos.

Do you plan to still use the 2 speed and mech brakes? That will take some load off the motor and thus less load on the lipos.

96 amps cont wilth a 4s setup is ok, just do not try to gear the truck up to 40+mph. Converted savages are not the lightest truck. I run my savage with the 2 speed and mech brakes. I use a 14xl and 8s lipo. My packs are 3600 12c packs, older polyrc cells.
