I like an 1100kv outrunner on 3s. My comp crawler had a 833kv motor on 3s, but it was a 28 series motor so it was a "bit" oversized. Finding an outrunner with a 25mm mount pattern and an 1/8 shaft is difficult, that is why holmes may be your best bet. Most 25mm pattern outrunners have 5mm shafts. I used 32p pinions and spurs on my comp crawler, but you have limited gearing going away from 48p.

I have used the small axi outrunners with an adapter plate to mount to the axial tranny. My little 6x6 tlt axle crawler does grreat with that motor. Pretty sure it is a 2217 1100kv motor. But you do need a 19mm to 25mm adapter plate to mount that motor on a axial/pede tranny. I made one out of a steel washer.
