Hi James,

The Hot Bodies Cyclone(Latest TC Model)has the Upgraded 18T Pulleys & Belts as Standard........this means that it would be Geared slightly different to all of the Previous Versions of the Cyclone Touring Car.

If your planning to run a 13.5T Motor Indoors, I would say that a good Starting Point for Gearing, would be to have a Final Drive Ratio of around 5.4

Ideally, this would mean that you'd be Geared at : 98Spur/39Pinion(What I was on at HRCCC last Season)

If you've still got the Original Spur Gear from the Cyclone TC Kit, you could go on : 100Spur/40Pinion, which would also acheive the Ratio you need :D

I'm not sure, but its doubtful that the other Spur Gears you mentioned, would Mesh with the Pinion you'd need, to get the Required Ratio for 13.5T Motor.

Hope this helps :)
