Hi, anyone know if I can use a Orion motor and exhaust pipe with the ninja header. My stock orion header is too big for the MBX6.
Thanx

Anybody that has experience with the new CRF ALPHA 3 port , have you used this motor in truck and if so how was the runtime and power ?

it depends which Orion motor you are talking about... if it's the US Spec it needs the orion header, but with the Alpha line the OS should work

well I can tell you that the run time will be very good for sure, and Pudge ran the Alpha 3 port in truggy to win NC last year, so it must be good

somebody asked me which engine to run in buggy, the new Team Orion Alpha CRF 3 port, or 7 port. I would say the 3 port hands down. The 7 port is really too much motor for a buggy, but will work better in a truggy. If you are a power junkie, then you can use the 7 port in buggy. Obviously the 3 port will get better mileage...

Looking at going to Orion since OS stopped making the vspec. Im leaning on the Truhe Edition... what can Orion owners tell me that can make me buy Orion?

The MTE is a lot of motor for buggy, you might want to lean toward the 3 port if it's for a Losi buggy. The most obvious benefit is longevity. These engines won't even get going for a gallon and a half. You can have fun club racing for a gallon and a half then take it to a big race and smoke everyone. After that, it will run a LONG time. It just depends on maintenance of the aircleaner and such. With good care these are marathon engines.

i would have to agree with pk the mte has too much power. mileage not too bad 9-10 mins but again too much power its hard too put it to the ground just changed to 3 port for that reason any release date for the 3 port alpha crf pk

I've just finished running in my Alpha Abi 3 port...and now there is an CRF Alpha Abi 3 port.... hard to keep up, just have to race some more I guess

MP9er, Horizon Hobby has the new CRF Alpha in stock.

dude im totally bummed horizon dont ship too australia us and canada only guess ill have to wait for amainhobbies

I know you like the 2013 better now, but did the 2050 give you good power and runtime also?

Our testing showed a little less power with the 2050, but mileage fairly close to the same as 2013. Any mileage gains from the 2050 were negligible, maybe 5 seconds in a tank of fuel? The run times for mileage test vary quite a bit because it depends on throttle control of the driver. Back when we were running Sirio, Cody would go 9, and Lutz would run out in 6:30 lol

Matthijs, don't feel bad about the old ABI 3 port, it's a great engine! Capable of 10 minute run time and Cody's favorite engine to that point in his career. It's a gem.

just finished breaking my 3 port in for nationals cant wait too spank some ass with this motor lol

True That!
