What motor were you running before? If it was stock I'd start by just gearing up a hair. It will be a lot faster and can pull a higher gear for sure, but you may like the "feel" of it better with lower gearing.

I'll look at what I have on mine when I get home. I don't race so I just usually eyball it and then see how it runs. I wanna say 21/81, but I also have the older Stealth tranny which may have a different final drive than yours.

Mine is 21/81. That may be lower than you want for a 13t brushless. I'd start with a 23 and see how it runs. If you race it would depend greatly on the track. How long the straights, number of corners, etc... If you bash, just start there and see how you like it. :D
