Talaria MX3 / MX4 / MX5 tuning
Power, torque and reliability - from the QS8 connector to a Torp controller and a custom battery. We tune Sting R, MX3 and MX4 for the track and for the road.
In short - the answer
Talaria Sting tuning - means raising power and torque by changing the controller, the power circuit and the gearing. In our Kaunas workshop we tune Sting R, MX3 and MX4 in three directions: a high-current QS8 connector with a 6AWG harness, a tunable Torp or eBMX controller (up to ~11.5 kW on the stock battery) and sprocket, throttle and software tuning - for the track or for legal road use (L1e-B).
We ship parts across the EU and worldwide, and the work itself is done in a real workshop in Kaunas, S. Raštikio g. 28 - send us the bike or the part. Every project starts with diagnostics and an individual plan - from a safe „city“ setup to a full track configuration.
01 · Where we start
Sting R, MX3 and MX4 - what we change and why
In the Talaria Sting family the limit is not the motor itself, but the stock controller, the power connectors and the gearing. Sting R, MX3 and MX4 use a 60 V (16S) system (MX5 - 72 V / 20S), and the MX4 has a sensorless IPM (interior permanent magnet) motor. With the controller and power path matched properly, we safely extract far more power from the same motor.
| Model | Battery | Motor (nominal / peak) | Torque | After tuning (Torp TC500 2.X) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sting R / MX3 | 60 V (16S) 45 Ah · ~2.7 kWh | ~4 kW / 8 kW | ~45 N·m | up to ~8 kW (stock bat.) |
| Sting MX4 | 60 V (16S) 45 Ah · ~2.7 kWh | 8 kW peak · IPM sensorless | ~45 N·m | up to ~11.5 kW (stock bat.) |
| + custom battery | 60-72 V higher current | depends on the controller | higher | ~13.5-18 kW (TC500/TC1000) |
Figures are indicative and depend on the battery, cooling and the chosen controller. We plan the exact result after diagnostics.
02 · Power circuit
QS8 connector and 6AWG harness
The biggest bottleneck on a more powerful Talaria is not the motor, it is current. The stock connector and thinner cables heat up badly when the controller asks for more current, so power is limited and the connector can melt.
We fit a QS8 high-current connector together with a silicone 6AWG power harness - it carries far more continuous current, runs cooler and lets the controller deliver full power reliably.
We also make a QS8 → Talaria Sting adapter, so you can connect Sur-Ron type batteries, chargers or bypass solutions without cutting anything - fully plug-and-play and reversible to stock.

03 · Controller and power
A tunable controller - the core of the whole tuning job
The controller (MCU) decides how much current reaches the motor, how the throttle responds and how regen (EABS) behaves. We tune Torp and eBMX controllers: we set power modes, current limits, thermal protection and the throttle map through the app - and we program ASI and SiliXcon controllers in-house, something very few workshops do.
Circuit & gearing
- QS8 connector + 6AWG harness
- Sprocket (gearing) change
- Throttle response tuning
Torp TC500 2.X controller
- Up to ~8 kW (60V) / ~11.5 kW (MX4)
- Works with the stock battery (no bypass)
- Bluetooth app · FOC · EABS
TC1000 + custom battery
- ~13.5-18 kW with a strong battery
- Custom Li-ion pack for higher current
- Full tuning + track testing
„Controller tuning is not a button press. We are one of very few workshops that integrate custom systems and tune the most advanced motor controllers.“

04 · Battery & current
Custom Li-ion batteries
A stronger controller needs a battery that can deliver more current. The stock Talaria battery works perfectly with a Torp TC500 2.X without bypass, but maximum power (~13.5-18 kW) needs a stronger pack.
In Kaunas we design and build custom Li-ion batteries - we select the cells (LG, Samsung, Molicel), nickel-weld them, and pair them with the right BMS and a genuine current reserve. More capacity means more range, and higher discharge current means stable power without interruptions.
What we assess in a battery project
Voltage (16S/20S), continuous and peak discharge current, cell class, BMS parameters, cooling and case mounting - so the pack safely handles real track loads.

05 · Road legality
Talaria Sting and road use (L1e-B)
For legal use on public roads a Talaria Sting is registered as a light motorcycle under the EU L1e-B class: up to 45 km/h, up to 4 kW, with mandatory lighting, mirrors, indicators and a horn. The registrable Sting R L1e version meets these requirements.
Registration
A registrable L1e-B version needs a licence plate, insurance and the matching licence category - check the rules in your own country.
„City“ setting
We can keep a legal 45 km/h mode in the controller for everyday use plus a separate full-power profile - no swapping parts at the track.
Road equipment
Headlight, brake light, mirrors, indicators, horn and a number plate holder.
06 · Process and cost
How the work runs and what the cost depends on
Consultation
We discuss the goal: daily riding, enduro or track. We plan the stages.
Diagnostics
We check the battery, controller, connectors and gearing with real measurements.
Installation
QS8, controller, battery, sprockets - and the software tuning.
Testing + warranty
Test runs, final setup and our warranty on the work.
Cost depends on the scope of the project
We do not publish exact prices in advance, because every bike and every goal is different. We send an individual quote after a short consultation and diagnostics.
- Model (Sting R / MX3 / MX4)
- Controller (TC500 2.X / TC1000 2.X / eBMX)
- Whether a custom battery / adapter is needed
