Looking at getting a AE F.T 18T and running a Mamba 6800kv. Any problems with the two? What gearing would u recommend? Also, anyone recommend a good servo?

Your search feature is full of answers, I would get the rtr and up-grade what you want because there are better options then what the FT offer. Happy shopping

Get two of the MIP CVd axels
its a great combo mamba and RC18T FT
get this servo its one of the best servos you can drop:

Stay low on the pinions size. Mamba's tend to cog alot around the higher gear ratios. I've found the lower the better with 4wd 1/18's. In fact I run a 8 tooth in my vendetta ands it perfect(old x-mod brass press on pinions). But alot of the guys I've raced with stay in the 12 tooth area. Cvd's are a must! If you get that 18t stock and not the FT. Get the carbide balls for the diffs and the turnbuckle set too. Well atleast I would

14/60 gearing is the best i have found on mine, also dont forget to get a diff shim kit and add a shim in each diff.
