The fast (pro) guys have even moved back to brushed 19T vs the brushless b/c they are getting more power out of them. Brushless winds up faster but when you dont need to do that a lot then you are slower.
In a straight line, the 19T should be faster, so it makes sense on a track like that why guys would go with 19T.
I can't imagine what you'd gear your 13.5's at on a track like that. I get them up around 43 on a tight course.

I will admit, a 45mm rollout is extremely high. I mean my rollout ratio with the cyclone WCE is 29.15 with my gearing at about 6.25. This is on carpet with 58mm tires.

when I say the rollout above, I do mean on a brushed Komodo Dragon Pro

or8ital, you mentioned "all" of the GTB runners thermalled and "none" of the Sphere guys. Well, I have a problem with generic statements. How many of each? What type of cars? How many different heats? What motor on the spheres? Did you take a poll of gear ratios? How welll were the cars set-up? There is a lot of gray area to your statement. Having run both the GTB and Sphere, I found the LRP to have one advantage...size. Aside of that, it thermalled, crapped out and when it did work, was not as smooth as the GTB. And I run my cars HARD. Please give more info before posting your "facts".
