here is my review on the .21 non ABI

I ran the .24 ALPHA for 2 races (big and small track) in my ST-RR now. I like it very much. Easy to tune and great milage (can run >8min). It's like racing the ST-RR with the power feeling of a MP9. No problems to go the same top speed like the .21 engine powered cars.

You wont be dissapointed, the Orion engines have plenty of power. :nod:

Well i now have about a gallon on the .24 ABI and so far its been very troublesome. Very inconsistent tune either running too fat at 210 and if i lean it out to get a little power it runs at 260. I hope that it still has some breaking in to do if not this engine is going too the back up engine box.. Very sad cause of the price. Now that i have had 2 orion alpha line engines (.21 non ABI and .24 ABI) i must say as an unsponsered, unbiased opinion that these engines are not very good. I bought these due to the fact that they are star/sirio based and i have had a ton of luck with other sirio based engine (werks and trinity). Just my 2 cents.

They are the same as trinity engines.

Not exactly the same but very similar yes. thats why i gave them a try.

Ok what do you see thats different?

Welll for one the Crank and piston and con rod are not the same.

ok more info please. how are they different? compare please.

thats funny, I can't find any spec on bore or stoke of the alpha line of engines. Im thinking thats the same as trinity engines just diff ports 3 vs 5 same crank ,same rod, who know:confused:
