It is total overkill. Conker Runs a HK 5020 on 12S and gets 11000 at the weapon, with a 2:1 reduction. I ran that as it was a better shape for my machine than the longer HK 4035. The massive stator give it a huge amount of torque. I believe you could run it 1:1 on that bar and be fine, so long as you ran 10S or more.

The alternative is go like 720, running a 5S pack and have a high KV inrunner and a greater reduction. It simplifies your wiring and means you can save on the cost of batteries, and high voltage ESC's. However I believe in a machine shaped like yours that a HK 50 would fit in better than a long thin inrunner.

EDIT: I have also tweaked the weapon design to have 40mm of bite rather than 60, and it now weighs 3.45kg. With all the bearings and supporting parts it will weigh around 4Kg... that is one hell of a weapon!
