Default Need some Brushless Motor advice for E-Revo

I just converted my revo to run electric and now I need some advice on motors and gearing. Here's the lo-down on my set-up.

- Revo 2.5 chassis w/ e-maxx manual 2-speed tranny & steel idler gear. stock spur (72T I think? not sure)
- e-maxx stock wheels/tires (bashing) -and- Proline bowties w/ dish rims (track)
- RD logics steel cvd's all around w/ center cvd's.
- BK warrior car 9920 esc. (4-20 cells, 99amp continuous, built in bec)
- Two 2s 6000mah maxamps lipos, and two 7-cell IB3600's for back up.
- pretty much stock everything else. I am considering of buying a Vantage C.F. chassis in there to drop some more weight, but it costs a pretty penny...

Ok, so my question is, what motor would you guys suggest? and what gearing should I use?
My truck will weight about 9-10 pounds with the lipos and 11-12 with the nimh's. Anyone that has any personal knowledge will help me out greatly.

I am considering these motors: Nemesis Blue 8L-10L or 7-8XL, Feigao 8L-10L or 7-8XL, or Lehner 3100XL (hard to find good info on it). Hacker is out of the question, because I of the price vs. value. I'd rather go for a lehner at that price. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!
