Another popular option is USGT which uses a 21.5 motor.

It really depends on where you are. 13.5T (blinky) is often called "super stock" class.
Here in Germany, 13.5T (blinky) it's the "TC Sport" class (one below "TC Modified" - open motors, open ESC usually up to 4.5T, and above "TC Hobby" - 17.5T, blinky, fixed timing motors and limited gearing). In the US, people tend to use slower motors in TC as well (21.5 and 25.5T for USGT or USVTA classes, for example).
So for some, it's a medium speed class, for others it's beyond what they're used to already.

I've been using the new RSD fan mount and spool cups in mod for a little while before they were released publicly and can say both products are top notch, and work beautifully. If you're in the market for either I highly recommend both. A little bit of grease on the pins and you're good to go.

Most tracks, or any track you travel to, will almost always have a 17.5 TC class. 13.5 is not very common, especially for indoor carpet tracks. Personally i would go with 17.5 over 13.5. Buy a motor from the used section on RCTech or a local.

i have a couple of extra 13.5, but i can put a 13.5 in my offroad and put the 17.5 in the t4 if i need to. The gearing i ordered though is for a 13.5.
I do not want to compete with my rc cars, i just like to drive around and enjoy myself. i have only ever been to track two times and the track employee was a jerk so i never went back. I havent been to the local on-road track, but i have such a bad taste, i would prefer to just do my own thing.
with that said, realistically, is a 13.5 going to be so fast that it will be hard to control or is it ok

Just go to youtube and search for ETS races in the Pro Stock (not Modified) TC class - there you can see the speed of a 13.5T class (although the rules specify blinky mode, certain motor (used to be fixed timing) and a max gear ratio allowed)

On an open flat surface, 13.5 is easy enough. Around a track, it's more challenging. Some comparisons:

thanks for the links.
i have a Hobbywing 21.5 Bandit G2 that i was going to return, but i will try that to start with instead of the 13.5

i finally got the car built. i have a few questions.
1. is there any way to get a shorty in this car or do you have to use a regular sized battery.
2. i broke my rear belt because a pebble happened to get caught in the gear. is this common to break belts? or just bad luck. is there any reason why i should not put a cover over the hole of the frame by the gear to help the stones stay out?
i did find 21.5 feels really slow compared to my off road buggies which run 17.5. i still have the gearing for the 13.5 that i bought so i might put those in to see how i like it. i might have the car too low to the ground for driving it outside. i heard it throw every pebble on the parking lot.

Regarding the belt - you just got unlucky. I've never actually broken a belt (have worn a couple out though). If you regularly drive on really dirty surfaces you could try putting a chassis protector on the car which could help a little, however rocks/pebbles can still fly up and get caught in other places.

i am hoping someone can help me with the gearing
to get the final drive ratio for this car, you take (spur/pinion)*1.9
that will give you the final drive, however, how do you know which motor to use that for.
for example, from searching i got 104t and 42t spur and pinion, which gives 4.7 final drive. i am using this on my 21.5 motor.
if i put this on my 13.5 motor, the final drive ratio will still be the same. Does this mean its safe to use on my 13.5 like it was on my 21.5?
how do you figure out what gear to use for the different turn motors?
