Need a new 10.5 motor

My Team Orion 10.5 that was only 3 months old, gave up the smoke. I have had 3 of them the last a 2008 race. I don't know what happen the ESC is fine. I have decided to go with a different one. I am looking at Speedpassion and Tekin. What are you using? This will go in my TC5.

Novak makes a pretty good 10.5 also. Plus they offer more RPM then the Orion motors do.

I think it changed because a lot of tracks still offer the 10.5 as the 19t equivalent.

Novak 10.5 is always a good one.. used and abused mine for just over a year now and no problems..

I've also heard good things about the new Hacker 10.5! which seemed to be as fast as an orion but as strong as a novak.

Not only low power for Orion 10.5, maybe also less reliability!

I'd go with a Novak 10.5. I have two of them and had no issues. I also have a Losi 10.5 Xcelorin that I run in my vintage runner. I have seen newer motors with built-in fans. I'm looking to try those out too.
