If you are new to 1/12th, I would definitely not recommend starting out with a 10.5 and for sure not with a 6.5. 13.5's are plenty fast and fun, even for seasoned 1/12th scale racers. The faster you go, the more critical the car's setup becomes and the more breakage becomes an issue as a result of the increased power and speed. For a 13.5 on our small to medium indoor carpet track, I typically start the day with a rollout around 85mm and adjust from there. For a larger asphalt layout, you'll probably wind up geared a little taller. One other suggestion, you might want to consider trying double pink fronts in combination with the pink rears.
