I'm converting my nephews savage to electric.
I bought a x01 motor and esc. I am using the alza center diff kit with vorza diff. 48t
Currently i have a 16th pinion. Anything smaller causes the motor to hit the drive cup.
Is it over geared?

Maybe check out this thread:

He's running a bigger esc, but the same motor, also on 6S, started with 48/25, then dropped down to 48/20 after running 4S:

He posted later on that 48/20 on 4S made things too hot to touch, but didn't have his temp gun.

So, guessing you are probably safe to try it out with 48/16. Just make sure you put 500k+ in the center diff or it's just going to unload the diff on you constantly. I'm running the super 5SC trans with center diff in my flux hp and I'm running 75% 500k/25% 1M in my center. 500k was a bit to thin still. It does really well now. I only run 4S with the MMX/2200kv in it with I think 21/44 gearing, but since I have a transmission still with more gears in it, my gearing is irrelevant for you. However, the action of the center diff would be similar. I'm running proline trencher 3.8's on it with BP diffs. If you don't have BP diffs... your going to need them.
 
Might be a little light in the center depending on the tires/wheels your running. Still should be a decent starting point.
