It depends on your motor and the track. In the 1/10 4WD touring/gt class, racers gear by final drive ratio: 6T and below near 7.34, 13.5T near 4.51, 17.5T near 4.51, 21.5T and up near 3.65. On the RS4 Sport 3's stock 75T spur that is about 31T for 6T and below, 51T for 13.5T, 51T for 17.5T, 63T for 21.5T and up. Tight tracks gear down, open tracks gear up. For a starting pinion matched to your motor, use the So Dialed Pinion Recommender with the RS4 Sport 3 selected.
What is the internal ratio (transmission ratio) of the HPI RS4 Sport 3?

How many teeth is the stock spur gear on the HPI RS4 Sport 3?
75 teeth. Changing the spur moves every pinion's ratio at once; most racers leave the spur and tune with the pinion.
