I tested a couple Orion 4268-2500KV motors in my eBuggy and the power was amazing, but only managed to get 7 race days before it crapped out... rinse and repeat for the second motor. Never over heated as temps typically came off the track under 160°F

I went back to HW 2400KV which isn't as powerful but these motors last significantly longer.

I never tested the Orion ESC because I wanted to make sure their motor was good but that didn't pan out for me.

I have been using their 1/10 Torcx speedo's since last year and have had zero issues. I switched from XR10 G2 Hobbywing speedos and have no complaints.
