One chap that races at some of the clubs we go too runs the orca pro and it’s been fine, he’s never had a problem with it. I think his name is Mark Redmond

Been running the ORCA pro in my 511 and it's superb. Brilliant speedo for the money and comes with the programming box too.

Give Simon a call at rcLazy and he can hook you up a great price.

I run it on my Bmax factory kit. A 10.5 T motor. I dont know about the ESC but these days ESC are all being rebranded!

Top motor!

Very impressed with a 7.5 ORCA in my Cougar SV with a Speed Passion LPF ESC

I got a ORCA speedo and 7.5 turn combo for my Cougar. The speedo let me down after 5 mins practice at TORCH the other day - possibly spiked it after breaking the servo..... However the motor is awesome!!

I have replaced it with one of these

From what I understand it is the same as a Speed Passion 2.0 GT but about half the price??!!! Maybe worth a look?

The Orca stuff is awesome, just switched over and well impressed.

Loads of guys run it at Silverstone and never heard of any problems at all!

Running the box settings on my orca vritra pro and orca 6.5turn. Car has very good speed, plenty of brakes and has a very good bottom end, which i always found lacking on the tekin.

I just recently got an Orca Qspark speedo to replace a Novak GTB that i burnt and think i have a bit more punch from it.
Good speedo for the price. No complaints and it looks good aswell

Yes I run all the ORCA gear for Pete at Answer-rc.

All I can say is it's awsome! Loads of power but very smooth. never had a single problem with any of the ORCA gear. And my car was always one of the fastest on the track! :thumbsup:

Good racing,

Mark Redmond.

Same here, run VTC/6.5 in the 410 (with a fan !) and VC4/7.5 on the 22 with Orca saddles.

Very nice and smooth, reliable so far even if I pushed them a lot. Very easy to setup too, especially the drive frequency, set to 32 kHz it's smooth and fast at the same time.

Peter at Answer is very nice and helpful. Wouldn't run anything else.
