jjl5590 Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Hi guys, I've got a Tekno EB48.3 running a 1512 sized motor and it's decent. Tops out at about 65mph. I'm looking for something faster and thinking about buying a Talion. Would a 1717 can size motor fit in it? I'm thinking of putting one in and gearing it up Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnkownRC Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 It look pretty good - 70+ out of the box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjl5590 Posted April 22, 2019 Author Share Posted April 22, 2019 That's with 'speed gearing'. I'd like to keep that gearing (or higher) for everyday running including speed runs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mond Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 I bet you could just add more gearing to the EB48 and make it go faster than a Talion. Get the EB a GT body and it will go faster than any truggy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 The 1717 is fat, not sure on the mount used in the Talion, but it may not fit due to its girth. Also, it's lower kv will mean gearing it to the moon to get the speed you're looking for. Don't forget to vid it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gearing it for 65mph already puts the motor at around 80 degrees C without a body 53 minutes ago, Tug said: The 1717 is fat, not sure on the mount used in the Talion, but it may not fit due to its girth.

mond Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 The Talion's motor mount doesn't allow for much expansion. The TLR 8ight T 3.0 has an angled one which will allow for a fatter motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jumper Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 I cant see a talion being faster than a et48.3 on the same gearing. The tekno is much lighter and you would think the drive line is smoother and has much less loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BashingBrian Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 The new version 4 Talion with the sliding motor mount might have the space your looking for..?? Just checked my Kraton and it has about 5-6mm under the motor before it hits the chassis..?? What diameter is the 1717....?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 I think it's 49mm, but I'm not at home to confirm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydoddy69 Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 I doubt the new or old motor mount on the arrmas will cope with such a heavy motor can to be honest. What’s the need for such high speeds ? Bashing anything at 60mph will destroy it in the end maybe look at different kv motors and up the volts in the Tekno ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanveer Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 I wouldnt want to bash my talion at anything over 50mph, my chassis bent on the first run, doing back flips and jumps that would destroy most rc's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjl5590 Posted April 23, 2019 Author Share Posted April 23, 2019 I get bored going anything less than 75mph lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
