Yepp, 18/66 for small tracks with lots of partial throttle, also works fine on gras, and I always keep it on 18/66 when I run 16 cells. This gearing is also great for bashing around.
20/66 for those big tracks (which I still have to find in my area :W: ) and parking lot sessions. And I think for speed runs, you could still go a bit higher.

Theoretically, 18/66 (1:18) and 14 good cells should give you 35mph. (KV rating from BK, stock tire size)

Optimal gearing depends on weight and other factors, too. So no two trucks are identical. Motor temp is a good indicator for finding proper gearing.
