Default How low can you gear an r1?

I picked up a gmade r1, im getting ready to take out the rooster crawler for a mamba max to run 3s and i want to gear as low as possible. I picked up a 10t pinion and a 55turn novak motor. Following the volt up gear down train of thought im trying to gear as low as possible. Im trying to find tranny gears to gear even lower. Any Ideas?

Not about what you're asking, but,....you will need to keep an eye on the portal gears. They are not hardened material. They are not strong and will sheer/grind if you put too much power on them.

I picked up spares for all the gears in both axles as well as new bearings. Im just trying to get the wheel speed back down some. Its pulling wheelies right now.

I want to run it on a 3s mamba max. So id like not to be pulling flip wheelies and all my lighting is 12v so 3s just makes more sense to me.

Just trying to go bullet proof. Using the portal gears as a fuse/weak link.
