MM 5700kv what gearing?

[Hyster]

What would be the right gearing for a 5700 set up in dirt and grass? Also, and sorry if this is going to sound newbish but, is it too hard on the motor with 11/90 gearing? Before you ask WTF I'm thinking, I'm starting on a Traxxas BackSlash project. It's something I have been thinking about sense I saw "theJangs" video.

The track in the video is Norcal Hobbies. I'm not impressed with its performance on track as any of the 2wd mod buggy/truck guys get just as much or more air and the handling looks worse than a stock Slash.

why not just get a 4wd buggy instead of doing this

Well... thought it might be something to get started with. I was planing on moving the battery forward some to add more weight to the front though. As far as an actual buggy, well I had been looking on ebay for some rollers but, this was something I had in mind a while back. I am still a newb at this whole thing. So just trying a few things here and there. If all fails I was working to get a MM 1/10 set up to get started with BL and do some kind of conversion other than my Slash. (Trust me, I wasn't planing on converting the Slash I have now but buying parts here and there.)
