You're right.

I think the problem are the packs being 1 year old. My IB4200 nearly 18 month old are still working but they lost a lot of runtime.

i havent ran it on a big 1/8th scale track yet, but im guessing if i gear it to the moon i may have runtime issues

No the LRP and Orion are not made by the same manufacturer. The GM, Orion and SP and maybe the CP also are very similar.

As the LRP 5.5T is using bonded rotor from factory and the Orion 5.5T is using sintered rotor they will have different RPM or KV. The Orion in compare will need higher gearing.

Hi all,

As anybody managed to get the bearings out?

I tried to remove the bearings yesterday, without any sucess. Not only that, but i managed to get the motor the make a funny grinding noise, probably from damaging the bearings.

So, does anybody know how to remove and where to buy bearings for these motors?

Thanks in advance

I was really impressed with your BL setup. Not only the acceleration, but also the brakes. Anchors! The following day at Blue Diamond it was no contest, BL ruled the day by a wide margin. No more overgrown slotcar motors for me.

The bearing on the pinion side can be simply removed with a bearing tool (also called a trick tool)



At the sensor side it's more difficult because you can damage the sensor if you are not very carefull.

I used the 3 short screws from the backside of the motor to built a place to let the bearing tool rest on whilst pulling the bearing.

Inserting is a little more difficult. I let the tool rest on the three sensors and used a lot of shims on the bearing site to push the bearing in place.

Did this already a few times without problems.

BTW: The funny noise can also come from a bent ventilator. It can hit the winds if a little displaced.

I dunno where to buy the bearings. Maybe you should contact Team Orion direct on their forum.

Good luck

did you gear differently by using 13.5mm rotor to 12.5mm rotor? another question is what is the actual size rotor you guy have on 10.5 BL inorder to gear 5.0 FDR? thanks

i'm think use slotless BL motor faster in these big track !
