check out http://http://www.gearchart.com/inde...n=chart.create
And click on cyclone but change the trasmission ratio to 2.166 as the tc has a different transmition ratio (internal ratio)to the other cyclones i think

Smaller Gear Ratio
(bigger number means smaller ratio) More punch and accelleration.
More runtime.
Lower top speed.
Bigger Gear Ratio
(smaller number means bigger ratio) Less punch, but more top speed.
Less runtime.
Smaller Pinion Gear Smaller gear ratio
Bigger pinion Gear Bigger gear ratio
Smaller Spur Gear Bigger gear ratio
Bigger Spur Gear Smaller gear ratio

hope this helps
ask other people at your track what ratio they use as well
