Typhon Will this 20t pinion work on Typhon 3s?

wow! 20 tooth on order! Ha!

We are watching you. Where's your sponsor? Someone confiscate his credit card before it's too late!

I've been enjoying my 20t pinion. On foamie tires it flat rips. I suppose somewhere in the high 50's maybe low 60's is where it's at now in speed. When I put the F11's with Trenchers the motor gets very very hot though....

Where did you get the 20t pinion?

Here is one of hundreds:

Edit: check to make sure the shaft size is correct.

I bought mine at my LHS.

bringing this back up, anybody else have similar experience with the 20T as me?

I never even tried the 15T, put a 20T straight out of the box. went out for a minute on 2s and thought that it was underwhelming because I forgot I decided to start on 2s lol, so went right to 3s just to see. the thing flat out flys but both times with my 3200 45C 3s packs it thermals in about 5 minutes and I am running in the snow in 30 something degree weather. I am pretty sure its thermal because it just stops completely where as when running an older 2s pack I would hit soft lvc and then it would come and go. so I assume lvc isnt just a solid 100% cut like thermal is.

I am thinking of cutting the body right in front of the esc and also thinking maybe the issue was that snow was packing all the gaps between body and chassis so NO air was allowed to flow into the body but I cant be sure until I can drive it in something other than snow... thinking I might have to get the adjustable motor mount and step down to 18t or something.

Ran the 20t on mine and it was 170ish on the motor after about ten min. No way that is sustainable, at least in the warmer climates.

 

[maddmatt02]

my temp guns screen would just flash on and off and I had no more AAA so I couldnt use it but the end of the can barely felt warm and neither did the heatsink. esc didnt really feel too warm to me either but you cant actually get your hands on the heatsink.

I use a 17t and it's a nice balance between high top speed and torque. Once it warms up I can pop wheelies and some cool moves with it!

Guess what, they are sold out everywhere. I've already looked. Thats why I posted this...

I ordered a yeti pinion and it works just fine

So I can kind of see what you're talking about if it's from a complete stop. It hesitates just a touch...but not NEARLY as bad as yours. Have you adjusted your punch setting? Mine is on 1...so maybe that's it? If I'm rolling at all, there is no hesitation at all.

I definitely find punch setting 1 and 2 a little low unless maybe at a short track for punch 2. I stick to 3 and stay away from 4 and 5 since my trigger finger can be a bit heavy at times

20 pinion on order as well!!

I know this thread is from a year ago but I just picked up a typhon 3s and installed a 20t pinion myself. I am having the same issues. It’s super lagging of the start and when I stop going up a hill and hit the gas even if it is a little bit it is choppy and then even cuts out.

Care to share a short clip video?

I don't know what the internal ratio difference in the 3s and6s typhon but imo 20t is too much gear for 3s

 

[Uplift-RC]

Thats all i run in my 3s Typhon is a 20t pinion

BS,

 

[Engineer]

mine runs fine with a 20T on stock tires. Start moving to bigger/heavier tires and it will start lagging from standstill

View attachment 118876BS,

With those tires i would say would be good

If i could figure out how to upload a video i would lol.
guess this link will have to do.

For grass I guess a 20t pinion would be to much. If I turn it into a road car 20t is the way to go
