which motor
 

Hi,i cant deside what motor to get,iv had a speed passion,i like the way the drive,but i dont like the connection type,the wire is only mm away from the can and shorting out,iv had an X12 but they are to aggressave for me in 2wd and run to hot for my liking,has anyone run an ORCA for any amount of time,if so what do they think,
thanks

I have just gone from the Speed Passion motors to Orion motors and all I can say is WOW. They are as smooth, if not smoother than the Speed Passion but seem to rev harder and stay cooler .... win win win!!!

But are Orion BRCA Legal ? The new stuff that is, the older stuff is, i know.

I was close to buying one the other day, but for the life of me, couldn't find a definitive answer on the BRCA Site....

Which Orion motors and are they mega £££?

The HPI/HB Motors are worth a look at, really smooth and some unbeleivable top end power, Nathan Ralls has been running an 8.5 in his 2wd and A Finaled it at last weeks National :thumbsup:

8.5 with boost though etc.

I've never worried a huge amount about heat - as long as the smoke hasn't escaped, it's all fine. It's well known that the LRP motors run hot, but, they are quite happy doing so.

Hi Mikey,

No the "Boost" and "Feel" were turned down to make it as smooth as poss, From what I remember he just had the Motor Timing turned up a bit :thumbsup:

Can Double check with Nath to confirm but im pretty sure that's about right ;)

Ps Just replied to your stock Query on the other thread :thumbsup:

had a look at our motors???
