What pinion gear should I use on the eXcelerate Prodigy F1?

It depends on your motor and the track. In the 1/10 2WD f1 class, racers gear by final drive ratio: 21.5T and up near 2.19. On the Prodigy F1's stock 88T spur that is about 40T 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 Prodigy F1 selected.

What is the internal ratio (transmission ratio) of the eXcelerate Prodigy F1?

The Prodigy F1 has an internal ratio of 1:1. Final drive ratio = spur ÷ pinion × 1. With the stock 88T spur, a 26T pinion gives an FDR of 3.38 and a 47T gives 1.87.

How many teeth is the stock spur gear on the eXcelerate Prodigy F1?

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