Got my talion, what pinion do you guys recomend to use, i know the tekno ones are good but what teeth to use. I want more speed, something between the stock and the speed one. Don't have fans yet for the motor but will be getting them. I bash on roads, dirt and low grass
 
It is a 13T stock with a 15T speed. You are asking for one in between? Hang on let me get my calculator. :/

Seriously Pinions are cheap. Get a few and try them out. Keep an eye on your temps and see what you like the best.
 
got a TK R4178 sitting on the side it is a 18T, M5 set screw.

the stock is out, the speed option gear supplied is in with 4S. that is what i have on mine. between stock and speed.
 
I ended up getting a 16t tekno pinion going to put it in this week end along with changing the center dif fluid
 
I run a Tekno 18t on 6s with zero issues
67mph with Katars
73mph on Backflips


Motor temps? Do you use a cooler on it as well? I have a 16t tekno for mine for the 1/8 track but haven't installed it yet. I know ill be good on the required 4s for the racing aspect but wasn't sure on the 6s side of things. Just not sure if I should bother with the yeah racing tornado motor fan I have or if it's unnecessary weight/power draw. Still too damn cold and tons of salt and crap on the roads round here to run it outside on the 6s yet :D

Just do it brother. The Talion is an animal when highly geared. I am running 17T, with a heat sink and fan. Sure, it adds weight, but it's worth it
 
The fan is already on there, I was just wondering what the temps got up to without it and if it's a "must have" at those gear ratios. Added weight isn't a good thing when you're racing ;)
 
I'm running 20t pinion all the time. Just put a fan on your motor and call it a day. Some people ru. 22-24 pinion all day and they don't have a problem.
 
I've ran 15t @ 16t on both 4s and 6s with multiple tire setups. 16t on 4s doesn't have enough wheel speed with katars for air control. Backflips/badlands no problem on either tooth count or cell count. 15t seems to be the sweet spot for me for multiple tire setups and bouncing between 4s and 6s. I definitely prefer the torque vs top speed in most conditions
