Default gearing for 45t lathe motor in wk 4x4(newbie)

Hi! Just got a wk 4x4 from tower hobbies a couple weeks ago--plan to build into trail/crawler rig as my budget allows. I purchased 45T Integy lathe motor at same time. What pinion/spur should I run with stock axles/trans? Thanks for the help!!

I've got a 45t integy also, I clocked the motor over at angle and I had to use a 96 spur and 16 pinion. The stock setup should allow a lesser pinion if I remember right but I'm not sure, you just have to see what fits but I think the stock setup has alot of room to move the pinion around. Overall I'm happy with the 96/16, it has plenty of low end and decent wheel speed...

I use a 55T lathe motor geared 15/96 with the stock transmission plate. It goes about 5mph top, but I was looking for low end power. If you are looking for a trail truck and not just strictly a crawler, then you should gear it a little higher.
