Default Opinion, Which motor do you think would be better for my MRC?

I already have an EZRUN 25A brushless ESC sitting on my desk, now I just need a motor.

I know they're very similar, but I've narrowed it down to these two..

Tacon 2040 17t 3400kv

Tacon 2040 16t 3600kv
http://www.hobbypartz.com/96m264-2040-3600kv-16t.html

I know about cogging and all of that, but I've never delved into the realm of brushless, so help me out here.

If I go with the 3400 I think my low end will be better, but do you think I'll suffer much as far as wheel speed goes? The only reason I see the 3600 being better is for more wheel speed.

I've already mentioned the ESC I'm going to use, for my batteries I have Gens Ace 800mAh 2cell 20c packs. This is all going into a Losi MRC Pro that's on it's way with some other goodies.

Any advice / input is appreciated!

I would say the difference between the two is minimal

You can use gearing to get better torque or speed,and you can volt up to 3s
too.

I'm leaning towards the 3400.. Another question, do you think this set-up will give me more wheel speed than my other MRC with stock elecs / gearing?

From what I've read if you have your esc set up right and you don't gear it too tall then cogging is minimal.. Can anybody confirm / deny this?

Also, when I get all of this stuff I'll start up a build thread some time next week, reporting how it all goes. (It may take a tiny bit longer, you guys know how RC stuff can drag out..)

Thanks!
