I could not get enough power to clear this double at our track. Checking motor temps I could not get the temp over 100. So I kept going up on the pinion trying to get some heat out of the motor. I ended up with a 36P & 69S after that I gave up still with not enough power to clear the double with ease. Again motor never above 110. So I went out and bought a Revtech 24K certified and a Gforce Analyzer to play with timing. My numbers on the Orion from the track were as follows
KV 2783
rpm 20600
u 7.4V
I 2.2 amp
Timing 36
32 37 38
After bumping up the timing way up from before I am at
KV 3455
rpm 27299
u 7.9V
I 6.7 amp
Timing 50
48 50 53
My Revtech 24k certified out of the box is
KV3238
rpm 23639
u 7.8v
I 6.2 amp
timing
52
50 54 52
So which motor is better by these numbers? And with the differences in the Orion numbers, should that motor be much better then before with the timing moved up?
They are close, but I am leaning towards the orion. If you never ran it with the timing at 50, you are in for a surprise.
Are you running a stock class where you have to run in blinky mode?
