Finally got back the speedo in v1.5!
Wired everything backup, used 5.0FDR and profile 4 off goop's rubber setting.
Tested in my hands and holy batman!
It's like the car has NOS now. It's even faster on profile 5. though I may fiddle around with the brake frequencies, this thing is wicked fast.
The cogging issue is completely gone, and my regrets of getting the speedo blew away. Can't wait to test it on the track against those pesky SPXs
The only concern now is the longevity of the electronics running in such huge capacity.

You should definitely be careful about the gearing to start, though. If you are running the timing at setting 4-6, then the same gearing as your fellow SPX racers is a decent starting point. In the end, you'll probably end up somewhere around 1-2 teeth higher on the pinion than someone with an SPX on profile 7.

Ran the speedo at a race last weekend and took first in Amain 17.5! woot!
It was a great race. The car's top speed just kept increasing down the straight. Had it geared at 5.0 and the duo motor temped at 140ish. Outside temp was about 88-90F(hot). Could probably gear to maybe 4.8, but it has a good balance now so I'll stick to it. My 13.5 got kinda hot (180F). probably need to go down about 3 teeth maybe.
Awesome speedo. Good torque and top speed. Just need to mess around with the programming a little more. Thanks to Orion/KO for their support.

I just got a ko heat sink and fan for my Orion esc. Get the heat sink on and fan screwed in. Done. So I plug everything in and turn it on andall but one fan blade blows up right off. Stupid pos.
fan screws were just snug, didn't hulk them on or anything. So was this a defect fan? It was sitting in my lap and blew up. I will post a pic when I get back home from dinner.
I'm getting sick of this esc. I will say that much...... Now I'm 260 bucks ino this thing. Still doesn't have a fan that works. And I don't have the programmer either. Time to go back to Lrp. Or tekin
sorry for the rant

Sorry if this has already been covered, but do the Orion speedo's have the same problems as the KO? Do they need an upgrade to the 1.5 version as well.
I ask because there's a used one I'm looking at.
Thanks.

Just posted the ROAR carpet nats '09 setting used by Drew Ellis to take TQ and the win in 13.5T Touring. This is the same profile that EJ Evans used at the Reedy Race of Champions '09 to take the TQ and win in RCGT.
Also posted is the mod setting used by Ralph Burch to set the fastest qualifying time at the Reedy Race of Champions '09 which was also used by Josh Cyrul and Drew Ellis for mod. In this setting, all three drivers settled on profile 2.

Sorry for taking a while to post these up. Enjoy!
