Gear Ratios ????????

Been looking round the site for Gear Ratios But I haven't found any suggestions ?????????

13.5 Gear Ratio ??????? I use about 4.2
10.5 Gear Ratio ??????? I use about 4.9
6.5   Gear Ratio ??????? I may be using one Sunday at Numb Nuts any idears ???????????????

I Need to win Sunday and my new car takes a 10.5 in its stride as if it was a 13.5 in there no issues at all ( Planted ) ............

If I need more speed ill put the 6.5 in Just need to know some sort of starting ratio ??????????????? ( As I only have an old Brushless ESC NOT one of the New Unfair ones   )

Thanks in advance

your about spot on with the 10.5 and 13.5 but i was running 6.2 with the 6.5 in and it was under geared but plenty quick enoght for colchester

yep 6.2 is slightly low in my opinion. With colchester it depends what sort of track is used. Slightly open track 5.5-5.7. If its tighter 5.7-5.9

about 7.2 is a good starting point... although when i was using my speed passion 6.5 it needed about 7.6-7.8   but its quite a high revving motor anyways
BigD

the 6.5 i had was the corally one which is the same as the delta winds i.e. orion,GM etc
