Accessories
Kraken X60 Powered by TalonFX PowerPole Adapter Board
The Kraken X60 Powered by TalonFX PowerPole Adapter Board was designed in a collaboration between WCP and Vivid-Hosting. The connector board allows teams to easily connectorize the power and CAN screw terminals on the back of the Talon FX. This helps simplify wiring and facilitates faster motor swaps.
In addition, one of the connectors outputs power and CAN, allowing you to power a CAN based sensor like a CANcoder.
Pinions
Motor Pinions are smaller gears that are design to fit on a motor shaft. These gears use a wider 3/4" face width to help strengthen the gear tooth.

16t x 15mm Wide Double Flange Aluminum Pulley (GT2 3mm, 8mm SplineXS Bore)
SplineXS Adapters
The adapters allow for teams to freely customize their systems while using the 8mm SplineXS supported hardware for their assemblies.
8mm SplineXS to 1/2" Rounded Hex Adapter (1" WD) (2-Pack)
8mm SplineXS to 3D Print Adapter (1/4" WD) (5-Pack)
SplineXS Spacers
This combination of spacers is designed to position motor pinions on the Kraken X60 shaft to ensure proper spacing and meshing of teeth.
The larger OD of these spacers is designed to help teams retain gears when using the SplineXS to 1/2" Rounded Hex Adapter.
Lengths Available:
1/16", 1/8", 1/4"
Motor Spacers
We have upgraded our previous spacer to be more versatile. This works for all standard motors with a 2” BC and spacers are available in ¼” and ½”. Great for spacing up motors in a swerve drive without cutting the shaft.
