I am still on the fence on which chassis to pruchase - TA06 Pro w/ Exotek (when available) or the Hot Bodies TC-FD...
Either case I will be running the new Trinity D3 10.5 in the VTA class just started this season. Yes VTA, we will use VTA body, tires and wheels but nothing faster then a 10.5 and any esc will be allowed...

Hope they will allow big rear wings!

This I know and has me worried about handling. Track owner just didn't want to have guys buy "special" equipement as opposed to stuff they already had.
I had no idea the TA06 used these special .6 mod gears... In fact I didn't even know they existed until now. I have been doing a search for them but am only finding Novak set .6 14t/15t/16t is highest at A Main Hobbies...

Red yes I have temp gun, also the setting car for my ESC can tell me the max temp. But the temp gun seems more practical. Looking at the chart the came with the TA06 to get 5:1 I would be having to use a 29T and even larger to get 4.5:1
Like you said, I may need to get a few pinions to test. Would you recommend I get 25T, - 29T ? (5 pinions)

I almost always switch to 64p, if nothing else, just for availability, every hobby shop carries the pinions, and more times than not, they have a spur that will work just fine. The .06 mod works fine, but being only used by Tamiya and HPI, it's a bit harder to find if your in a pinch.

Is there a conversion chart online or a formula to figure out the conversion?

I wish there was a chart, but I haven't been able to find one.

Do you go full throttle to full brakes, or is the speed more constant?

27t pinion for 13.5 (this is my current set up, with 3600kv D3 13.5 )
26t pinion for 10.5 (4200kv) If your kv rating is slower, then go up a tooth.
Nobody likes to have a bunch of gears in their pit box that aren't being used....but remember, a couple pinion gears are a lot cheaper than buying a couple new motors! (because they burned up!)
$5 or $10.....vs........$65~$100. Besides, someone at your track will likely need one at some point.......I'm constantly selling my extra pinions!

For that setup, I'd probably start with:
27t pinion for 13.5 (this is my current set up, with 3600kv D3 13.5 )
26t pinion for 10.5 (4200kv) If your kv rating is slower, then go up a tooth.

Really, have to try a few different gears to find out.

Thank you so much for your help! I totally agree about the extra pinions but i will be the only one using these 06 Mod Pinions as everyone else will be running 48 or 64 pitch...
