on my cyclone TC, i am using an exotek chassis with the weighted battery retainers
We're also on parking lots for the most part here. I'm fortunate enough to Mike from Exotek as a local racer. I may need to pick up one of his chassis.

May just need to test with weight until then.

Thanks, Rob.......

Where are you binding? Are you using 64pitch?

Way too many varibles to just throw out a gear ratio for a 13.5. Include some info and someone will probably be able to help you out.

What 13.5?
What motor timing?
What ESC?
What ESC settings?

All these will affect optimum gearing significantly.

Just about all the fast guys in my local area are now running or have been running 6 degree caster blocks on their cars. AE, Xray, and Schumacher. I found the part number for them (HP73519) but it doesn't register on the HB website. I have one pair coming to me for testing this weekend (thanks Korey) but where can we get more should I like them?

No. It's actually the biggest track in my area. Speedworld raceway. Even on the small tracks guys are running the 6 degree blocks and doing well.

I'm actually 4.6, just checked. I'm on the older 16T pulley, with a 69 spur and 36 pinion. It is a little soft into and through the corners, but pulls hard coming out which is how I like it
