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.

What shock oil does the Team Associated RC10 T5M come with?
Out of the box the RC10 T5M runs 35 wt front, 35 wt rear (Team Associated oil), on 2 x 1.6mm (#91308) front, 2 x 1.7mm (#91308) rear pistons. That is the kit setup; you will need to adjust it for your track conditions. The RC Setup App can help dial it in.
What springs does the Team Associated RC10 T5M come with?
The kit springs are 3.6lb Blue (#91330) front, 2.1lb White (#91337) rear. Stiffer springs suit high grip and big jumps; softer springs add grip on slick or bumpy tracks.
