This is the exact situation I ran into when running my 5700 on 3S vs 2S. Going to 3300kv made the gearing choices much more reasonable. I think I ended up with 23/87. I could run that thing all day like a bat out of hell and it would stay cool enough that you could keep your finger on it as long as you liked. Speed was around 38 - 40 mph (radar verified)
