Dont think there is one really. depending on if the track is tight and twisty gear it low say 50 spur 14-16 pinion or if you,ve got flowing corners and long staights gear it at 18 pinion. Best to judge it by the heat of your motor, thats all I do.
from what I remember spurs are 46 50 52 pinions from 13-21 just dont burn your motor out.

I know what rough gearing to be on for the tracks i race on. 12/50 & 15/50
But I could do with fine tuning the gearing so i can gain the maximum preformance out of the motor.

The 12-50 will give you more acceleration but lower top end
the 15-50 will give you slower acceration but higher top end
If youve got a lot of bends and braking to do keep the pinion low just try going up a size each time. Too high a pinion and you will be slow out of the corners. Trial and error is all you can do but remember if your motor gets too hot it loses power.
After a 5 min race you should be able to hold your finger on the motor for 5 seconds without burning it.
If you,ve got the G2 dont use com drops in it . they kill the brushes. Just add a drop of wd40

The 12/50 is used on a very small circuit 8~10 second laps
the 15/50 is used on a huge circuit arounf 13~17 second laps

wd40 is best applyed with a cotten bud.
