The problem is, WHICH combination to use ... i mean, here at the forums all people says spurs 70 - 74 ... and pinions on the 33 - 36 range ... and if i see the setups online from cyclone S users on other sites, they say use 100++ spurs and 40+ pinions ... so, where to go ?
Its for 13.5 brushless 6 cells nimh ... asphalt rubber

Last summer i was using 91 and 51 gears for my Cyclone S(with internal ratio 2.4375).
I don't know condition of your track, but if there is a lot of small stones/dust then i would suggest you to go with 48p gears, as they will strip less. My personal experience with this, as last year I stripped some spurs/pinions due to this fact(was using 64p ones)

I have a local race I'm going to this weekend. We have recently lost Seattle Indoor Raceway as the primary indoor racing venue for on road racing. Due to some dedicated racers, they have created a club that races in a old naval base blimp hangar in Seattle, Wa. They are havign their first "special event" race this weekend on the 11th, so I'm going to go support the new club and race with them.
Check it out here:

There is a possibility I'll be down later this month for some testing though. Some of the Canadians are going to kidnapp me on their way down haha.

Assuming your running 5 cell, gear around 8.5-8.6 and check your motor temps.
