Actually i think depends on if you want to run on a track. Then i'd go for a 17.5, you could gear it down. at first to get a feeling, and change to proper gearing maybe later on. Also you'd get quite a lot of runtime, i guess not having to stop for battery change is nice for the chap.
Also it helps learning to drive a clean line, gives enough time to react.
a 13.5T is already quite Quick, i kinda run it almost all the time in a 22 also because of LRP-Challenge Rules in Germany, track is quite small and Laptimes are quite close to modified. If You gear it down i think it's to much torque and it could go on the back wheels quite some time.
But if running on Very wide Tracks or the parking lot, more power would be better Fun.
Used to run a 17.5 Speed Passion V3, not tons of power but it's going quite smooth, and does not have heat issues. Tryed it some runs in the 2wd, then it went to the touring car for the local track. Did not have any issues, no problems there.
Ran it with a Cirtix Stock club race, so no adjustability except for the Brakes. But you might go LRP or so if planning on using stronger Motors Later on.
