What would be the good starting point for gearing on a 6500KV GTP car racing   with a track power of 13 volts .?

We have used 11/31 :shok: with 13 volts in Argentina and we are well.  We put a capacitor of 16v and 100μ that allows us to regulate the intermittent electrical problems in cars.
 Will you consult me if they brake well? They do a great job.  :good:
 Are we crazy? maybe. :dash2:  :crazy:
