I run both HPI and Orion. Orion are probably smoother, HPI are just ballistic! Great motors for the money.

The Orion's are by far the smoothest I've tried, have a mate who runs the HPI motors and they don't hang about.

Hi, my comparison is between x12 and speed passion V3, the x12 is ballistic in anything, 13.5 in touring and 5.5 in a dex410, rather aggressive motor, can get warm quick but can handle 3 figures- cooked one at 130 deg C. On the other hand the speed passion was my choice for the 2wd in my b4, used a 7.5 and was smooth delivery with a good top end and ran nice and cool- but no comparison to the Durango down the straight. One thing to bare in mind is the ability to change the static timing on both these motors, that can alter some characteristics of power delivery.
