Just bumping this up for more info on these motors and pipe suggestions.

Nobody running these motor or ?

Bump
Just got this engine with the Orion 2013, I'm hoping someone can spark this thread up with some experience about the engine! |
Got one in my XT8 and love it. Plenty of power all around. The 2013 pipe is the best pipe for it. Get about 9 minutes on a tank. Sometimes more, sometimes less. Depends on how I drive it. But generally I figure on 8:30 to be safe.

The motor has a couple gallons on it now. Probably closer to 3. I run a 15t on my XT8. Not sure if a 16 would fit. I should try it. The motor has enough power to pull a 16. Just not sure there is enough motor adjustment for it.

I mean the gear mesh might be too tight. With a 15 on it there isn't much room left to move the motor away from the spur gear.

the xray has a different gear ratio than the 801xt. stick with the 14t jeff, you are going to lose mileage if you go anything bigger.
