We have actually been working on a hard case li-po saddle pack battery. We havent really had a huge demand for them as of yet. Now that most of the 4wd cars use this type of configuration, we will have to get something done soon. No release date has been set as of yet. Thanks for your question!

Awesome to see a thread for Orion. I think theres about ten drivers and JP that can answer questions.

Joe- hows the speed controls coming?

The new Orion ESC's are supposed to be ready shortley after the Nats. Unfortunately, not before I'd rather test a new one, than use my Novaks .....

Yes, like Steve said they will be available shortly after the Nats next month.

Cliff is extremely busy working on many different projects for both Team Orion, Kyosho, and AKA. I will be able to answer any questions you have regarding Li-Po batteries, if not he is only a few steps away.

For anyone running brushed motors still in off road, a few of us have been running the Core stock motors, and the Element 19T motors in our cars. Even had a Core stock finish 2nd and an Element 19T finish 3rd at the recent HotRod Hobbies Shootout. And the motors have been doing very well in the JBRL Electric offroad series as well with a TQ and win in Exp stock, and a 2nd in 19T at the last round in Camarillo.

So if you have a question about gearing or brushes, feel free to ask away!
