Thumbs up NEW ORCA Brushless systems

Just bought a 8.5 ORCA brushless system today and raced it tonight, Just thought i would put some feed back up about it,

It was really smooth on power and has all the same top end power as well known brands

Has anyone else used these defo worth a try for £130 for a combo its miles better than anythink else on the market for that price.

I belive they do do a pro vesion going to look into it does any one know what the diffence is?

Thanks
Ben

How do they compare to the Fusion Exceed range, which are in my opinion the best value for money brushless combo on the market bar none

It looks like another rebranded Speed Passion system to me just like the ezruns.

If they are why waste your money, just get the EzRun version for less than half the price

Is there a UK importer for the EzRun stuff?

If not then I will be trying one of these in my TC.

Thumbs up

I am 99.9% sure there is no one bringing Ezun into to the UK ( well not the
tc speedos)

From a back up service point off view these would be miles better than the ezuns you can buy off ebay if anythink goes wrong there is not you can do, With these you have all the support from Answer RC/Shops who bring them in. They dont look cheap like some others do they look the part i could not tell the diffence between these and my speed pasion.

Thanks
Ben

The Orca electrics are very good quality and the tunability is up there with the best.
I am running the Pro version's with the new motors and lipo's... got to say i am well impressed with the whole package.

After 3 years running Tekin i never thought i would find anything as good or maybe even slightly better. Only thing i am getting used to is size.. (similar to SP)

To be fair Mark Owen (chuckie stella) has been running them for a couple of months now and made the change from LRP.. with better results to boot.
Looking forward to working with Orca from now and building there reputation in the UK.. Answer RC have made a real coup with these and along with the Caster 10th he is slowly getting more and more into the off road scene.

If anyone has any questions then PM me or Chuckie stella and we can help you out.

Looking at these for 2011 potentially, got two speed passions and a Tekin at present.

Do like the plug system on the SP motors though

Do the orca ESCs need a capacitor soldered to it like the LRP, SP and Telkin units etc?
