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

It depends on your motor and the track. In the 1/10 2WD buggy class, racers gear by final drive ratio: 6T and below near 9.40, 7.5–8.5T near 9.22, 17.5T near 6.48. On the RC10 Classic's stock 54T spur that is about 11T for 6T and below, 11T for 7.5–8.5T, 15T for 17.5T. 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 Classic selected.

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

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