Default Turmoil E-Buggy Gearing

Can anyone help me determine gearing for an E-Turmoil I'm working on. I plan to race some indoor (tight/technical) tracks and eventually some outdoor (large/faster) tracks. I also plan to use two 7.4 Lipo batteries connected together for now until I can get a 4-cell 14.8v battery. Any help is greatly appreciated, even if it's other chassis brands for comparison.

Forgot to mention:
motor Tekin 1900
esc Tekin RX8

I run 48/19 in my RC8BE with the same motor. Works great, temps out at 135 after a qualifier on the track.

What is the diff ration on the Turmoil? The AE buggy is 4.3:1 where most buggies are 3.3:1.

I don't know on the Turmoil. I'd have top pull it apart and find out. Turmoils aren't real popular and thanks for the help so far.

The the stock cb was a 13t. My rule of thumb is 4 cell 1700 kv motor on 4 cell start off with stock gearing. So if your running a 4 cell pack on 1900 kv a 12 to 13 tooth pinion is a good place to start.

It is 3.31:1 for the Turmoil buggy. I downloaded the manual from their site. To be the same as Tyler 350 (and my setup actually) you need to run a 3.29 ratio on your pinion-spur. If you are using the stock 46t spur, you need a 13.97 pinion to be the same.... so a 14.
