What pinion gear should I use on the Schumacher ProCat Classic?

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 ProCat Classic'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 ProCat Classic selected.

What is the internal ratio (transmission ratio) of the Schumacher ProCat Classic?

The ProCat Classic has an internal ratio of 2.43:1. Final drive ratio = spur ÷ pinion × 2.43. 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 Schumacher ProCat Classic?

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