What pinion gear should I use on the Team Associated RC10 T5M?

It depends on your motor and the track. In the 1/10 2WD truck class, racers gear by final drive ratio: 7.5–8.5T near 10.14, 13.5T near 8.27. On the RC10 T5M's stock 84T spur that is about 22T 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 RC10 T5M selected.

What is the internal ratio (transmission ratio) of the Team Associated RC10 T5M?

The RC10 T5M has an internal ratio of 2.6:1. Final drive ratio = spur ÷ pinion × 2.6. With the stock 84T spur, a 16T pinion gives an FDR of 13.65 and a 30T gives 7.28.

How many teeth is the stock spur gear on the Team Associated RC10 T5M?

84 teeth. Changing the spur moves every pinion's ratio at once; most racers leave the spur and tune with the pinion.
