Orion Wasp
The Orion Wasp is an extemely fast engine, but you NEED to use the Orion clutch assembly for it.
I have two myself, and I did try it with out the Orion clutch, and the engine really has no bottom end. When I installed the clutch, it is like a complete different engine.
I have it in a RRR, and tried the Kyosho clutch with a stronger spring, but it did not help at all.
The clutch makes all the difference in the world.

Wasp .12 & XRAY NT1
Hi guys,
I have just purchased an ORION Wasp engine. I understand it is the 1st version, not the one with the improved torque. Being a long hardcore electric racer, I have nothing to compare it with so I cannot comment on it. Testing will actually take place this coming weekend, on Saturday to be exact, and I will take part in my 1st ever race in 1/10 Nitro the following day, on Sunday..
Car will be the brand new XRAY NT1.
More info in my blog. Just click on my signature!

Hi John!
Which clutch did You put on your engine? I have an ABI (Adrien Bertin Influenced) with Serpent clutch for my 720. The package said it's a conversion kit for Serpent, put it did not fit to the Serpent clutch, I think it had packaging problem
But that is a different problem.
Now I saw Teemu was driving an NT1 with Orion engine, but I don't see any conversion kit for the NT1.
Please let me know how You have put yours together.
