Orion formula V2 Pro
Anybody seen/run one of these? Tower has them listed for $32. A pretty good deal imo for a budget machine wound motor.

Shame there is no pic yet. Wonder if it will be a composite endbell?
Surely the manufacturing costs of the aluminium endbell work against making a mass-market machine-wound mod motor?

It looks not so good as the standard amuminium one but still...

To all....
The picture is not the real one, but a prototype version to test springs and brushes. I do not know where this pic is coming from, but it should have been an internal one only to give a suggestion in which direction to think....
The final version looks really nice, is silver coloured, an internet press release will follow soon.

can`t wait till these make it to the stock motors -Dave

Ugly? it looks awesome for me..., a cheap way of have your own V2 technology in a cheap way, and a lot easier to sold for beginners than the "pro" versions...great way to work as ever Oscar 
congrats
Cu soon is Spain again?

that pic imo is better than the current V2 endbells
on the current v2 motors i find it very hard to solder the wires and brushes on without soldering going up the brush wire...there should be an extra tab for the esc wires.
but this looks like it will be much easier to solder, and a much cheaper way to start using V2 motors.

I use a clip on soldering heatsink while soldering brushes on the orion motors (actually for all motors)....with it, I've never had solder run up the brush tube.

I`m curious Eddie...
If the V-2 already has most efficient heat sink design ever for its end-bell, how does adding another heat sink help you solder on the wire ?
Its already tuff as hell to get the job done, as it is you have to have a very hot iron...
And where are you clipping the heat sink on ?
The bursh tube perhapes ?
Hardly any room for both the , heat sink ,wire & iron....
Man ! like there is no room already, yeah know.......

You clip it onto the brush shunt george.....they sell them at radio shack for about $3 or so....when your done soldering the shunt onto the tube, you take the heatsink off(hence the term clip on heatsink).
I use them on every motor, not just the V2. What it does is prevent the rest of the shunt from getting hot enough to even flow solder, so it never rises up the shunt. It looks dorky, but you can also use it to hold the brush....so no more burning your fingers either.
