and does it give noticable advantages when running these spurs and pinions?
when you use 64dp, you can do fine gearing tuning. also Gears are supposed to wear less - more teeth that takes forces. I also heard that 64dp has better acceleration - but I can't prove that - I'm still using 48dp because of buggy and that I don't have money to buy whole set of new pinions. One downside of 64dp can be outdoors - debris etc. from asphalt can more easily damage spur because of smaller teeth.

I still have a range of Tamiya 0.4 pinions in my closet. COuld I use these with the Schumacher 64-spurs? They are very alike but not exactly the same.
If I coudl that would mean I won't have to buy a while set of new pinions.
I would not try that. Allways use dedicated pinions with spurs. Just imagine how many rpm they got. It simply can't work and you'll have much wear and drag in your drivetrain.
