I ran it through a drivetrain calculator, and I found that 17.6fpsish is the best time-to-distance for 2ft, which is perfect for getting around opponents. 17.7 is a little fast, especially given inconsistencies which the model doesn't catch, but it's easy to change the design depending on the game.
That's free speed, not adjusted; it should be between 14-15 adjusted.
