What motors are you planning to run?
I've seen adjustable motor mounts that allow up to 22t pinions with some dremeling of the gearcase for clearance. That should be more than enough gear.
I'm limited to brushed stock motors or 17.5 brushless. I've been using dual 17.5 for the past couple years so I'll continue with that route, and I'm flipping the rear axle so both motors are the normal forward rotation.
I ordered a set of Factory Works adjustable motor mounts, which are reproductions of the CRP adjustable mounts. I have a pair of 17t pinions so I'll throw those on and see how it goes. with 17T pinions I think the gearing will still be pretty conservative, but I'm sure much better than 13T.
