i cut the timing down to 0 or centered the factory setting and added 2 teeth it really helped i think i am going to go down a tooth and up on the timing to find a happy medium however stilling running about 155 after 6.5 minutes i figure 30 sec of practice laps and the 6 min race

That much drag break will heat a motor up. The factory setting on them is at the 10* mark. I would put it to that and run about a 3.88 FDR on that track. Cut the drag break in half and you will prob drop temps to about 145*ish. That's still pretty cold. They can take some heat. I think a few guys at IIC got them close to 200* and they were fine. Obviously not recommended to get them that high but you won't be worried about smoking a motor.

Has anyone tried using the Orca USB link with a 64 bit (Win 8.1) machine? I can't get the device to fire up, even after installing the latest UART drivers from Silabs. My other USB devices work perfectly.
It works fine on 32 bit Windows and even gets recognized by my Linux box.

Trying to find out if the 80c rating on the ORCA INFINITE LiPo 7000mAh 7.4V 80C RACE PACK is the 'continuous' rating, or the 'burst' rating? Cant find this info anywhere....

I recently picked up a Orca 13.5 motor. Is there a good way of getting the bearing out if the sensor board? I would like to clean the heavy grease out of it.

You can look on the shaft of the rotor and its engraving gives its strength. 125S means 12.5 Spec. The MH is medium hard. The SH is super hard. They also have 123S which are 12.3 spec rotors. I have a few of them here that havent been put up on the site yet.

I'll have to try again. I'm just worried about breaking the sensor board as I have not been able to find anyone who carries spares. The way it's designed even if I had a bearing puller I would be pushing on circuit board material to get it out.

Thanks EA!
And, all the best for the New Year everyone, hope you have a good one
