Default Single speed Gear Ratio

I can’t seem to find any information on the gear ratio that the single speed conversion creates. I’m currently running a 1900 slate motor and just bought some 4cell lipo’s so was thinking about ditching the 2 speed

1st gear is pretty low. Do you feel like it mind “wind up” creating too much heat. I figured moving to 4’s and gearing down a bit would give me a decent wheel speed without sacrificing crawlability.

I think 4s on the 1900 would be great. Just no long full throttle runs.

Haven't had any problems running 4S with the 1900kv Slate motor yet. Runs fine in low gear.
