Well, since you have the Lehner already, start with that and see how you like it, how cool it runs, etc. Then you'll have an idea of what you're looking for if it doesn't perform like you want.

If you want a motor that will run on 3s, I would definitely not go higher than 5700 kv, or the total rpms will be really high. You'd probably be happy with a motor with a kv around 4500-5000 and just gear up a little to compensate, and this will keep total rpms at a decent level when using 3s.
