Just remembered I have a SP3 motor in Adam's C4.1, stock motor. Think APEX had a good deal on an ESC/Motor Combo. Drop Richard a line, tell him I sent you

Oh, they also used to produce decent (but expensive) 12" vinyl tunes...

Check out 4am by ORCA. classic old skool hardcore from '93!

I would be very surprised if the ORCA and SP are made by different OEM's. While it's very possible that they are to different specs, I believe they are made in the same place.

The OP's question was relating to motors, hence that's what I was referring to. I know the speedo isn't a re-badge of something else!

Yup, also made at the same OEM. As were the old GM's, and the very old Orions.
