<span style="font-size: larger;"><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS;">French ... depends if you want to go with 3S or 4S set up. Here is some stuff you can look at:
3S set up
AXI 2826/10 (13x8)
AXI 2826/12 (14x7)
DualSky 4250-6 (12x8)
4S set up
AXI 2826/12 (14x7)
DualSky 4250-7 (13x8)
Turnigy 4250-700KV (13x8)
Turnigy 5055-600KV (14x10)
I used almost all of them and I will say if you can, for budget the DualSky is really good and the Turnigy is only good for sport flying, its not pushing it hard, tends to throw the magnet. AXI, Hackers, Hyperions are lovely motors if you wanna spend the dollars. Many have said that the Scorpion motors are superb, I have yet to try one. If money is really no issue then try a Plettenberg, that is one sweet motor, the Orbit 25 may be a nice one to get. Then in the same price range you can look at motors like Neu, Actro etc. </span></span>

RE: electric brushless motor
You can try ... www.2dogrc.com ... but seriously, the Turnigy will work as long as you are not pushing it to the max. For your PT40 I am sure it will work unless you want unlimited verticals. Hehehehe ...

<span style="font-size: larger;"><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS;">I would say get the DualSky 60A (USD70) if you are ordering from 2Dogs. If not you can save some money using the Turnigy 60A from HobbyCity. They work fine as I used both and have no issues at all. The Turnigy is cheap (USD40) but not in stock at the moment.
Both have built in UBEC so you can run more than 3S on them and power the RXat the same time. The DualSky has a switch built in, so it gives you 'some' safety ... please note it is not proven that the switch in the OFFposition will mean the ESCWILLNOTarm when the battery is plugged in. It may until proven to be impossible.
I am running the DualSky on a 5S Sebart Angel and the Turnigy on a 5S GPBig Stick 40. Both are running fine.</span></span>
