Default scorpion hotliner

Hello I am new to hotliners.

I am looking into a Scorpion
http://www.espritmodel.com/index.asp...OD&ProdID=2841

I am having trouble defining which motor at hobby city would work. I came up with this one http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=3849&Product_Name=KB20-40-17L_3400kv_Brushless_Motor_(FIN)_

How do I choose the correct motor? What would you guys recommend?


thanks for the help

HAve a feeling the motor mentioned is too small...
I use an AXI 2217/09D witg PG03 gearbox, 13x6 propeller on 3S LiPo. Need that power, think I`ll buy better batteries and aim for 400W.
