Regardless of motor or battery - if your setup is going to be around 30,000rpm - do not run 24/68 with the stock tires - you'll overheat the motor when the wheels balloon because the motor will be way overgeared at speed.

I have a set of Badlands and Maximizer beadlocks also , they are still in the package waiting to be assembled I am presently running a set of LPR Crimefighters on my BL Revo

i can get a few pinioins, i just need to figure out the range of them.....so im guessing for the following ...using the stock 68p spur....
20t pinion thru 24t pinon......am i correct in this info?

Just order a pair of RCM hybrid V" diff (buggy ratio) for my e-revo.

Ho! I've recieve it today, great machine, but the front diff have a defect on it, the pinion gear is bad, can't turn it a completed turn:lol:

That's my reason to order the V2 hybrid diffs:lol:

I'll gear it 24/62 with this ratio for about 41m/h

Sorry to revive an old thread - Just read through this when doing a search for something else.

For everyone that has posted that the Talons are junk/balloon to much I think you need to try something, try re-gluing the tires or don't use pre-glued ones. I'm running a Tekno 1515 2.5d on 6s. I started with my 17mm Maximizer beadlocks/Badlands(taped on the inside because THESE become dinner plates) until I lost a wheel nut. Not having a spare nut and not wanting to be down waiting for one I took off my 17mm adapters and put the stock 14mm hexes back on along with the talons. I previously cut the tires off the rims, cleaned everything up and took my time re-gluing them. The Talons provided much better grip on ashphalt and even ballooned less than my taped badlands with 20/62 gearing on 6s.

Not trying to start a battle over tires, just wanted to point out that Badlands DO balloon to dinner plates unless taped and talons can be used when securely mounted.

You are right. I have a maximizer/badland combo on my erevo and they ballooned to a huge size before I taped them. I also balanced them, which made a huge difference. It is geared for around 42mph and it is smooth as silk at that speed. I have also had great success running the talons on stock traxxas wheels. Never really noticed a problem with them, even bone stock.

I re glued my talons, and don't really see any need to use a more expensive tire/wheel combo. They tires offer great, I run a 2100kv motor on 6S with 20/68 gearing and the wheels do balloon at WOT but nothing too scary. Once re glued they've been flawless.

Edit: What size badlands and maximizer rims are you guys running? I have no idea about these after market wheels :(

any suggestions guys on a tekno converted revo? currently using a 40t spur (stock)with 15t pinion 1 metric pitch. truck has disturbing amount of torque compared to the dinosaur 3.3 it replaced. just curious who is running the same setup.

Badlands MT tires with Maximizer beadlocks - 17mm hex - Ofna 17mm conversion

you should try it! It will quickly become your best friend! Brushless will have more torque than a nitro period! Depending on your motor and voltage your running that could be the issue. Too big of a motor or HV will give more torque, more wheelies

thanks mate, yeah i did overlook that. i guess the fact the car is whisper quiet compared to the revo it sort of is deceiving how powerful the car is. i guess with nitro we associate audible engine rpm to the tractive effort or lack off with the tyres. with BL its weird, like no effort at all. like watching a top fueller run the 1000 to the sound of a weed whacker. strange, but thats how i like it. sleeper truck.
