It depends on your motor and the track. In the 1/10 4WD buggy class, racers gear by final drive ratio: 6T and below near 10.66, 7.5–8.5T near 10.00, 13.5T near 7.95. On the SRX4 Gen3's stock 86T spur that is about 20T for 6T and below, 21T for 7.5–8.5T, 26T for 13.5T. Tight tracks gear down, open tracks gear up. For a starting pinion matched to your motor, use the So Dialed Pinion Recommender with the SRX4 Gen3 selected.
What is the internal ratio (transmission ratio) of the Serpent SRX4 Gen3?
The SRX4 Gen3 has an internal ratio of 2.429:1. Final drive ratio = spur ÷ pinion × 2.429. With the stock 86T spur, a 16T pinion gives an FDR of 13.06 and a 28T gives 7.46.
How many teeth is the stock spur gear on the Serpent SRX4 Gen3?
86 teeth. Changing the spur moves every pinion's ratio at once; most racers leave the spur and tune with the pinion.

What springs does the Serpent SRX4 Gen3 come with?
The kit springs are 3.7 lb Green (#500229) front, Astro 2.1 lb Blue (#500357) rear. Stiffer springs suit high grip and big jumps; softer springs add grip on slick or bumpy tracks.
