Hey Joe, good to see you on here!
I was strangely reminded of that diaper commercial where it goes "I'm a big kid now". But yes, If no one else is going to say anything interesting on here besides who gets who's chicken and how similar one tiny box of plastic is to another, then I guess i have to do it.

I still am not sure how having a few of the same components on the main board means that they are the same ESC either. So you really think orion is going to take an ESC from another manufacturer, put some stickers on it, and charge double for no reason? There are soooo many things different on the ESC's and only a few things even similar. But, according to your logic, that makes them the same ESC. O.K.
hey Moose my GMC Yukon 4.6l engine shares the same spark plugs out of the Chevy Silverado 5.3l engine. so does this mean the 4.6 and 5.3 engine is the same? I'm so confused now...mr. cmsites do you have any info on this subject matter. thanks!

Since with non competition level driver just having a lil better quality speed control may make them feel faster but does not make the driver smoother.Or does the orion speed control make the drivers finger automatically smooth too? that would be technologically advance since the one i had didnt nor has the tekins,lrps,speed passions or hobby wings ive ran in the past.As far as trying to spill orion b.s. to me its not gonna work ive had em did i like em yes. do i think they are the best thing since sliced bread no..Would i ever tell someone not to buy em nope. personal preference on what people should buy not everyone can afford to go out and buy the latest and greatest technology thats still outdated before it releases..
The whole orion b.s. was over earlier when everyone agreed to drop it and not get into the battle of whats better and then you had to come on and spill more about how your the orion god of knows all.If feigo no longer is involved with the process of orion escs then i might apologize but until thats proven one way or another the whole everythings totally different isnt gonna work with me.
so if thats a brick wall because ive ran the stuff in the past then it can stay a brick wall just like these lipos can stay outside in the ammo box as paper weights.
Are you related to E-Racer?

Hey how about all you keyboard warriors shut up and go to bed. It's late and I need to be reading more interesting things other and butter and spark plugs. It's 12:30 kids, turn out your lights, grab some shock oil, rub one out and take your @$$ to bed.

well i hate to do this, but due to a permanent schedule change at work, i wont be able to race at smac anytime even the summer schedule. thus has forced me to sell my sct. what i have is a team c / tq racing sx10 sct. comes rtr minus rx/tx. has hb beams (4) and Jconcepts Barcodes (4) all mounted. has the castle sidewinder sct bl system with 4 pole 3800 kv motor. no spares as i havent had a chance to collect any as i have been to the track once in november. has a jr metal gear servo. looking for 250 local. can meet on mondays or tuesdays. have pictures if interested. will also sell the roller for 150 local. offers welcome, would trade for on road gear. its a shame as i loved smac trac but when you cant make it, you cant make it lol. did great on the track and i was laying down some good lap times for the first time out. it is 2wd. pm me if interested as i dont check the forum much. if you want pics send me an email addy or phone number and ill text them over. thanks.

greg

Yes, actually. They are exactly the same. Just ask c.m. stites.

Here is another fun one from the Moose archives.

Does anybody have a vehicle I could borrow for the JConcepts Indoor Nat's?
I have a T4.1, but would like to run buggy or SCT also. I'd prefer AE vehicles, but beggers can be choosers.
PM me if you can't make this race & don't mind lending out your vehicle. For those of you that don't know me, Rippee & Scott will be my referance.

Thanks!

For what it's worth, the last Orion esc was a restickered KO. No difference, just the sticker. I've owned both at the same time, plus I know some people at KO that confirmed this. If Orion did "build their own" this is a first for their company. But I can see them doing their own software, along with encrypting it so it would work only on their badged item. So this Stiles guy actually has history on his side.
