There are so many variables, so play it safe with the ratio's below initially, temp the motor, then adjust:

13.5 FDR = 4.5 to 4.8
17.5 FDR = 3.8 to 4.4

Track temperature, tire type and grip, and battery type all play a role in motor temperature, so measure after 5-minutes and try to get in the 150-170F range.
