Orion Element Laydown?
 

Hi All,
Has anyone tried the Orion Element laydown brush type motor (19t) and what is it like compared to the rest of the market

Cheers,

Liam

Excellent motor. Seems to run better the hotter it gets. It seems a tick faster than the Komodo, but not quite as smooth. I roll mine out usually about a tooth or 2 higher than a KD. Medium length semi technical carpet track I roll out at around 27.4mm. Q brushes on the motors are great and last a few more runs than a KD will.

Ok, Cheers i will go and buy one now!!

Stock up on some "q" brushes. If you're looking to order from a tuner, try
www.teamfullthrottle.net . Bill does a great job with these motors, has agreat price, has q brushes in stock for a great price, and ill ship overseas if needed. PM me if you would like any additional info on the motors or setups. I'd be happy to help.

We have been using that motor in Florida for years...its awesome and one of the few they can surveive a season in our heat.

We run Trinity XXX silber brushes in them with really stiff Orion Black springs. The brushed will last 15-20 runs. Just cut the comm every 2 runs and brush off the brush face with a fiberglass comm stick. They are sick fast in sedans gears around 5.8-6.0 FDR.

I tried the 19t this weekend and it was a bit faster than the KD I like this motor the only problem I have is on my last run the main the motor burn out and I have been on the internet all day to find a armuture and no one carry it, do you know if fullthrottle have the armuture? I went to there site but didn't see it, let me know if you know where I can get one.

Thank you.

I would check with orion regarding a replacement arm.
Or Tower & Stormer (since they carry the product range).
Let me know once you find it ‘cos I’m looking for a replacement arm myself

would the same setup apply if im running it in 12th?

Sorry but he doesnt have just arms.....try stormer or tower.
