Orion R10 / settings - which motor etc.

[andys]

I'm moving from my LRP sphere's (of varying specs) to the Orion speedos.

I need some advise (please don't tell me to buy a SP / hobbywing instead !!!)


Ok - I run the V3 sp motors, but im not quick enough on the straight. Hence I want a speedo with some of this boost / timing voodoo to increase the top end.

Running a 7.5 in my Durango 210, will the speedo setting allow me to 'boost the timing' on the straights ok, or should I look to a different motor make - I've always felt the SP v3's were slow ?

Can't beat the Orion motors IMHO .... definitely quicker and smoother than the SPs I ran before!!

I run the R10 Pro in my 210 with an Orca 6.5t and i have turned everything right down as you dont really need it,it is a brilliant speedo

What Spur/Pinion are you running?

I would go with either an Orion or Orca 7.5 or 8.5....

I have recently gone to 8.5 in my 2wd and its made me much more consistent and therefore quicker, but its still very quick down the straights..

Inside line had some cracking deals on the orca's and sell orion too, not much to choose between then with regards to performance IMHO but the orion's do look very nice indeed. (and I for one like to have matching kit)

On a side note, the R10's are just fantastic...

In my 210 I was running kit spur and a 26 pinion on a SP 7.5.
Car was good but not fast !

In my 210 I run a !/2S R10 with a 7.5 Orion VST motor gearing 78/25 ballistic on a long High Grip Astro straight some people with 6.5 sp motors cannot stay with me on the straight but need to wind the punch up for out of the corners!

Sounds good
Im going to go for the Orion motors - to match

Is there much difference between the 120 amp R10 and the 160 version ?

I run an Orion R10 in both my cars

Orion R10, 6.5 Orion, FS2
Orion R10, 8.5 Orion, Vega RB5 - had my best runs recently with the 8.5
