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 :)

Totally agree with ORCA...one of the best RC products to come out of Japan

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

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

the big question is why is there hardly any running orca in uk as they are massive in europe

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.
