EDIT - Would a lower or higher kv motor be better? I understand the higher kv gives you more top speed, but wouldn't it smooth out the bottom end a bit more? Excuse me if I'm wrong, first electric car.
Higher kv=more revs, but I'm guessing you got that figured already.
The driveability issue would be related to it being a small, light 2WD truck with a motor doing almost 55,000rpm. The wheelbase and track width are similar (don't know the exact figures) so they tend to be on the twitchy side.
A motor that doesn't rev so high is going to give you a more driveable truck and you may end up going ultimately faster and be more enjoyable than putting in a motor that is stupidly fast and uncontrollable.
