Sunnysky x2212 motors are great, Im getting 12 minutes of flight time with 3S 2200mah lipo on a tricopter of 650gms, and 23+ mins on a 2s 4200mah lipo with the same prop you intend to use.

Try to keep the auw below 2kg, ideally between 1.6 to 1.7 kg for a highly athletic hexa.
And try to start with a lower capacity lipo, 10000mah would be overkill, since you would also be increasing the weight which will reduce flight time.

the auw will be 1800 grams with the above specification
so i guess thats do able
i already have bought everything just need the motors

Yes its doable, but I think you will overshoot 1.8kg with a short margin though,
and also these motors are available locally at quadkopters.com
