Default Lipos / Questions - 1/8th Electric Buggy..?

I am looking to get into 1/8th electric buggies & have read several threads but am still inconclusive. The track I will be running at has I believe 120'-130' straight outdoors. The rest is tight turns, jumps would be 1 double and 1 triple, etc. Mains are 10mins in duration.

1) What lipos should I run 4s, 5s or 6s. My lipo charger will go to 5s 5000. But if need be I can always upgrade to one that will go higher. So I have read 6s @ 2540mah would get me to 10mins. But what about 4s or 5s and should they be 20c, 25c, 30c, etc?

2) What kv brushless motor size should I think about. I guess this would be determined on running 4s, 5s or 6s as well...

3) Does anyone know if they make a brushless conversion for the Z01B kit?

Thank you to all in advance for your time..!

This linked PDF was published last year - the kvs quoted maybe a tad high on the upper end, but will give you some ideas -
