Orion and Hobbywing are vitrually the same case, different software. If you have the original plastic tray, you orient the ESC with the sensor wire port facing to the motor, and cut a hole for it in the tray. If you have the lightweight try (aluminum and carbon), I had to grind a slot in the heatsink to fit around the top deck. There are pictures a handful of pages back.

If you did not grind anything, I would be curious to see this.

THe 1950 is a truggy motor I think which would explain the larger size. If the gen2 is a 1900 you should be fine.
