Here's the my track. Current layout at last saturday's race. Looks to be about 3X the size of yours. So my gearing suggestion probably would not be good for you as you don't really need much top speed for a long straight like at my track. You need more torque to clear jumps and exit speed. May be around 26/75 or 25/72. basically a combo that will put around 7.0-7.5 final drive ratio. Hopefully others on here that run on tight tracks like yours can chime in for suggestions.

Edit: These suggestions are for 13.5.
Man that track looks fun..

I talked a guy I race with. He is running a FDR of 7.22 with the gearing I have I can get to a 7.5... 26/75.. going to try that out tomorrow and see how it does, and adjust from there. THe low gearing I have on it now may work well due to the size of the track and all the turns. I just need to make sure I am not spinning to much coming out of the corner and lose my drive. That what has been killing me the last few races with the Reedy 3300kv motor geared to low.
