Hello benserpent,

I think the 10.5T setting is readily available online in this thread, if you want to look back a few pages, you are able to get it. It will be similar to the VX setting.

As for the 6.5T motor, the setting you can try to use the setting below, please remember to update to the newest software, also please set the running mode to Modify Motor.

Timing : 18
Turbo Delay : 0
Turbo Timing : 36
Turbo Interval : 4
PWM : 32/64K
Motor Physical Timing : +2
FDR 7.2

Please remember to check the setting and check the temperature in 2min interval.

Happy RCing.

Hello apique_14,

I think you would have to check the transmitter as some transmitter are slower in response. Also you would set the deadband to the lowest value. You can set it via ESC's buttons or using the 6X programming card.

If the problem persist, please bring in your ESC to your LHS for further diagnostic.

Happy RCing.

hi mikecan8,

Do orca sale the sensor board inside the motor ? cause i think my sensor board fry. When i run my motor without a sensor cable it all ok but when i turn off the esc and put the sensor cable back and turn the ESC on, my motor hesitate to run and when it run its not running smoothly and sometime stalling and just hum with no load amp up to 100+ amp, I'm using orca Q6X and 10.5T motor.

Any possible reason ?

Hello Nuai,

Yes, the sensor board is available seperately. Please contace Hobby Haven for availability. But I would suggest to use another motor, maybe from a friend to test to see if its the motor that causing the problem rather than just buying the sensor board outright. Or you can visit Hobby Haven for some simple diagnostic to be done as well.

Happy RCing.

Do you ever find this type of problem with orca Q 6X ESC or is it only just the
sensor board ?

Hello Nuai,

There will always be problems when it comes to electronics for any brand. Its not common, but it does happen. So I cannot be sure what happened to it until I am able to do a diagnostic.

Thanks.

Hello ash.chedda,

I am sorry for the late reply, but I will have to get back to you on this matter as I am no drift expert and I will have to consult with out Drift Team driver and get back to you. Sorry about that.

Hello apique_14,

Sorry I am not able to get the manual to you as yet, but I will definately get it to you by this week. Promise.

Happy RCing.

Hi mikecan8,

regarding of my Orca Q6x problem, i just find out what is really causing my ESC to behave
so crazy, the problem is the connector inside the ESC for sensor cable have a dry solder
joint for one of it post, so i open my ESC and resolder all the joint and it cure the
problem.

So its not the sensor board after all, thank mike for your suggestion to use another motor,
because of that i know my motor still in good condition.

BTW, i know the Orca Q6x is not the top of the line in the Orca ESC product cause it don't
have the turbo and boost setting, but you can tell me what is the ultimate setting for
my Orca Q6x with RX2 10.5T, so i can push these ESC to it full performance.

1. Start Response =
2. Punch Mode =
3. PWM Mode =
4. Timming Mode =
5. Drag Brake =
6. Final Drive Ratio =
7. Motor Physical Timing =

Thank you, mikecan8

Hello Nuai,

Its good to hear that everything is solved.

In any case, to run the 10.5T to its max potential on the 6X would be to basically put everything to max and play with the ratio and motor's physical timing. I can only give a suggestion as I have not been able to try the 6X without turbo. The best guess that I can try is maybe with a FDR of 6.0 first and then put +2 on the motor's physical timing side and check the temp every 2 min to make sure that the temp is within safe range. (Below 75deg is best)

Happy RCing.

It has been a very busy few weeks for ORCA's Team Drivers as well as some great news for ORCA's users.

It was another round of MNC 2012 held in MBA track. The venue that all of us liked very much. It would not be too much of a surprise that Mr. Jacky Siow and son WoonFoong took the top 2 spots and with another veteran driver taking the top three spots. Running again with the GFT tires proved that GFT has made good effort to maintain the consistency of the tire compound while giving adequate traction through out. The full results are as follows.

PRO Stock 10.5T Boosted:
1st Jacky Siow (TQ) / ORCA VX / ORCA RX-2 / ORCA INFINITE / Xray T3'12

Last round of the ETS also showed ORCA Power once again. Although the track being an indoor track, it was very technical and it showed that ORCA can be driven fast in modified class even in such conditions for the last round of ETS in Austria. Alexander Hagberg came in 2nd for the final results for round 6 of ETS and came in 3rd overall for the year, which marks ORCA's first full season in ETS and coming in with such a great result is encouraging and we know the next season of ETS would and can only be better. The final results for round 6 are:

1. Yannic Prümper (DE) – Yokmo
2. Alexander Hagberg (SE) – Xray/ORCA VX/ORCA RX-2/ORCA INFINITE
3. Ronald Volker (DE) – Yokomo
4. Marc Rheinard (DE) – Tamiya
5. Christopher Krapp (DE) – Kyosh
6. Vitkor Wilck (SE) – Tamiya
7. Andy Moore (GB) – HB
8. Freddy Sudhoff (DE) – Awesomatix
9. Martin Hudy (SK) – Xray
10.Magnus Vässmar (SE) – Xray

Last but not least its the inaugural Shen Shiang Cup held in Kuching, E. Malaysia. It is one of the rare races where modified motors are ran at the race as the track is pretty big with some running as low as a 4.5T motor and it was a first time for me to drive a real modified motor(6.5T) in Malaysia for a long long time. It was nice to make many new friends and was also nice to see how RC is in E. Malaysia side and am very encouraged by the big turn out for the race. Thank you all for the great hospitality and a very special thank to Danny (Dan 21) for playing a great host during our stay in Kuching.

Qualifying Results:

TQ Wong Kok Wai 21 laps 5:06:737
2nd Norazam 21 laps 5:08.670
3rd Michael Lo 21 laps 5:09.028
4th Shahrin 21 laps 5:09.132
5th Nilai Chong 21 laps 5:10:332
6th Chor T 21 laps 5:12:899
7th KS Chu 21 laps 5:13:448
8th Azahar 21 laps 5:13.994
9th Azman Azam 20 laps 5:00:023
10th Jacson Lim 20 laps 5:00:523

The results are extremely close with all KL drivers making it into the A-Main with our up and coming driver Mr. Wong KokWai securing TQ for the first time, it was very encouraging results for ORCA. E. Malaysia also had very good showing lead by Mr. Tan Wee Chor (Chor T) and our FEMCA Champion from Sabah, Mr. KS Chu along with Mr. Jacson Lim rounding off the top 10. The times showed that you had to be well close of doing 21 laps to be in the A Main with less than 8 sec covering the top 8.

For all racers running ORCA VX ESC in the A Main, ORCA Asia also took the opportunity to let drivers have a taste of the V3.0 software that is catered for the VX ESC. It proved that it is much faster, up to 0.2sec faster per lap in the hands of TQ, Wong kokWai, being the only one out of 2 racers to clock a fastest lap time of 13.8sec and Michael Lo clocking a lap time of 13.9sec. proving that the new software has its potential and all racers who had tested it all gave their thumbs up. Coming soon to a VX ESC near you.

The final results after the 3 Finals are as follows.

1st Wong KokWai / ORCA VX / ORCA RX-2 6.5T / ORCA INFINITE / Xray T3'12
2nd Michael Lo / ORCA VX / ORCA RX-2 6.5T / ORCA INFINITE / Xray T3'12
3rd Chor T / ORCA VX / ORCA RX-2 6.5T
4th Azahar / ORCA VX / ORCA RX-2 6.5T / ORCA INFINITE / Yokomo BD5Wxi
5th Norazam
6th KS Chu Yokomo BD5Wxi
7th Jacson Lim
8th Nilai Chong Yokomo BD5Wxi
9th Azman Azam / ORCA VX / ORCA RX-2 6.5T / ORCA INFINITE / Xray T3'12
10th Shahrin / ORCA VX /ORCA INFINITE / Yokomo BD5Wxi

The final results proves again that ORCA is not only fast in the boosted class but also in modified class pitting it against all other brands as there were a wide variety of ESCs in the race like Tekin, HW, LRP and others. Having 6 cars with ORCA in their car again shows that ORCA is at its 50% or more result for all races that ORCA has its users in. ORCA proves its ease of driving and having superior power especially with the V3.0 software is able to catapult ORCA and its drivers to the top step of the podium. Proving, if you have ORCA in your car, you are a little closer to the podium. No guarantees though.

Another great month of racing for ORCA and hope all of our Muslim friends and racers would have a great fasting month and Ramadan that comes after.

Happy RCing. Will see all of you racers in September 2012 again.

Hello mikecan8,

Is there any hope of repairing my ecs if I accidentally short my esc power polarity? I'm using orca vitra mk2. No exploded caps and nothing melts. The only problem is got smell coming from the esc.

Please advised.

Thanks

Hello evoton,

Am sorry to say that the ESC is not repairable. As the ESC would not be in working condition once you have shorted. In some cases, the ESC may be functioning, but some FETs are already damaged or burnt, therefore it would not be advisable to use the ESC after you shorted the polarity.

Thanks.
