Ok, used Brian's calc again (thanks for the updates BG) and a 950-1000kv motor with a 12t pinion would be my best suggestion. Also, if you do not have batteries may I suggest going with a selection of lipos that will allow for 10s and 12s. Maybe 2 5s packs and a 2s you can remove to get 10s... Or a 6s, 4s, and a 2s. I think 10s lipo would be better, and allow for a larger pinion, as the small pinions on a large spur wear much faster as they have to make so many more revolutions than the spur.
