"Team Power Products Talon Motors!
The idea for this motor started when the team noticed that most top-tier dirt oval events are now run on spec tires. We know we have some of the biggest, baddest motors available for open tire racing, but we also knew there was a need for a smoother bottom-end option, one where ESC adjustability could play a bigger role. That’s where the Talon comes into play.
You’ll also notice significantly less cogging with this motor, which results in a smoother feel and less aggressive drag brake feel when off-throttle. We’ve worked hard over the last year to develop this motor, and now it’s time for everyone to enjoy it. Below are a few notes to keep in mind for the Chili Bowl and beyond.
Gearing
6.0: 23/84
7.0: 25/84
8.0: 27/84
Side note:
On smaller tracks such as Dirt Floor or PT’s, you’ll typically want to go down one tooth on the pinion. On larger tracks like the Chili Bowl, be prepared to go up one tooth on the pinion.
ESC
Always start in blinky mode. However, as mentioned above, this motor is smoother, which allows us to effectively use the boost option in the ESC. This is something you’ll need to tune to your preference, but for us, it has proven to be a very successful option.
Recommended settings:
Boost Start RPM: 8,500
Boost End RPM: 22,500
Boost Timing Range: 8–18
Final Notes
Motor temperatures should remain completely manageable, but remember—a motor fan is almost a must. Fresh batteries are always important, especially at a national-level event.
By the way, each motor wind has this information in a link in the motor description on the web site!"
Thanks, Nathan for your input and hours of testing!
