Default 10.5t or 13.5t brushless motor for indoor racing?

Im really getting into the indoor 1/10 touring car racing and just wondered which motor would best the best to get? Would a 10.5t be better or a 13.5t ? or is there not much difference? I have seen a good quality 13.5t for a reasonable price but i dont know enough about it to make a decision. Can anyone guide me i the right direction/ Many thanks in advance

It depends on the rules at the club.

10.5 is faster than 13.5, but 13.5 is no slouch either. On most small club tracks you will struggle to use all the power of the 10.5.

with the right esc, 10.5 in a TC is an animal.... and like has been said, 13.5 isn't exactly slow either.

I agree with them a 13 is no slouch on a tight track, i race with a 6.5 in my buggy against touring cars using a 13 and they keep with me.
