Just with 12 batteries you are looking at 156 lbs. Add in 35 for chargers and frame you are at 190 lbs. Just looking at the batteries you mention you need to add another 40 lbs. With window motors on a 4:1 so that you get reasonable current draw you are at .5fps. That is insanely slow. CIMs would likely be the much better fit here as they have a relatively low RPM, are high power, and are built like tanks.
