With my Cody King it would not even run a single tank without flaming. I emailed and messaged Orion and the only response I ever got was when I posted the problem to their Face Book page and they told me not to do that! To contact support not post to their page! They never responded, we ended up magna fluxing (aluminum version) the block there were cracks in the block, when it heated up they opened up. I sent photos to Orion guess what NO RESPONSE. I switched to OS and it is a great engine, I have also ran Alpha and Novarossi as well as RB and Werks. My engine now is based on customer support as well as it is one hell of an engine with a good price.

Oh I agree with you completely. There is absolutely zero support for any of their nitro products in the US. Its primarily why I left the orion engines. The engines are good, the support is just not there at all. Trying to find what parts fit what year engines is basically impossible.

I have been extremely happy with my Spec 2 speed. I also have been very happy with my super budget engine the nova P5
