Default 55t or 60t

I have read most of the threads here and have one main question.

I am about to get a creeper and want to know a bit more about motor choice.
My last crawler was a very choped and modded txt based super that was nice and slow and more torque than was healthy for the old axles.

I like slow ( moderate walking pace ) and gobs of low down torque.

I am considering the 60t motor as I have a pile of 48p tamiya pinions from 15-22t so I figured that with the stock creeper running a 55t on a 15t pinion I should be close with the 60t motor on the set of pinions that I have for a nice slow crawl.

I like slow on the ground as my boats give me the speed on the water.

For the Creeper when it lands here I will build and run it box stock....... and then go for the 70mm uppers, bta, split packs to lower cg, new shock mounts for added adjustment........etc.

I'd go the 60T if you have lots of pinions.

Thanks for the input so far, if it makes any difference I'll be running 6 standard sub-c cells on this on. My lipos are for my boats (for now)

I have a lot of loose cells GP3300, IB 3600, 4200. So I can make packs to suit. I'll wait for the Creeper to get here and then sort out cell configuration later.
