I've heard people say that different motors (brands) need different gearing.
(I myself run an LRP, but know a lot of guys that run CS-motors and I know Tekin is also driven a lot in the Pred.)
Yeah, motor choice will influence the gearing you want (especially if the rotor is bonded and not sintered).. the above is just a starting point (for sintered) and gearing can be adjuted depending on timing, rotor size etc. But, you won't be far wrong if you start as above and go from there.
