Default Where can you purchase Orion motor parts?

Website lists parts, but no way to purchase them. Looks like I can by them from EuroRC.com in Finland, but nothing in the states???

I got an Orion VST2 that seems like it needs the sensor module replaced and no where to buy one.

Don't worry EuroRC are fast shippers, they ship out the same day you order and they will arrive fast in a express letter. They also answer emails if you have any concerns or questions.

I have no idea why that part doesn't show up in the U.S. but another way to order one would be through Amazon's Japanese site - http://www.amazon.co.jp/VORTEX-VST2-.../dp/B00F061DG4 - also a reliable way to get stuff to the U.S. - let the page load then click the "in english" option on the top.

Thanks guys! BTW, here is a video of the issue I am having with the Orion 6.5. Not sure if a new sensor would work?

The ESC has been calibrated. Sensor wire is OK. All connections are solid. I have a spare Tekin Gen 2 8.5 and it works perfect, so can't be an ESC problem?

I don't run sensored, but that's definitely either the esc or the motor sensor (hall effect switch), esc trying to find the rotor. If another motor runs fine, I would say mtr sensor. I specialized in real car electronic controls for years, ASE Master Mechanic, some of this technology is the same. Such as a engine crankshaft sensor for the computer (ecm, electronic control module) to trigger coils etc. Without a crankshaft sensor input or it is erratic (aka mtr sensor), the ecm either freaks out or shuts down. The esc depends on the mtr sensor to locate the rotor to control timing.
