Thanks guys, I'll start there.
For the 13.5, Joe mentioned to keep the timing at 0, but Clint's setup sheet from the Chico carpet race shows 18 degrees... and a 4.7FDR. You cooking eggs on that thing or racing it?
I'll have to play around with that one to see what I find, as well.

That was my first race using the motor and I had to play with different gearing and timing. The motor only reached 160 degrees after a 6 min race. I was looking to get a little more top end out of the motor. Looking at the lap times in the main I was heading in the right direction.
Here's the spec chart: http://www.teamorion.com/orion/produ...8_armature.pdf
Although it doesn't mention how the performance compares on the Stock & Race rotors, you can take a pretty good guess based on the dimensions.
For the 13.5, the darkblue should give a little more RPM and torque with less midrage.
Don't know about the 17.5... it looks like it already has a fairly high RPM rotor with the large axle, but it would definitely increase torque.
I found some of these at Stormer, I'll see how they work when they get here.

That's good to hear. I can't seem to get it very hot either. Have you tried the darkblue rotor? (12.5mm / 6mm) Apparently it's what the guys were running at the ISTC, although with mod motors.

Glad to hear that worked out for you. What speedo were you running? My first test was with the LRP sphere as I didn't have the funds to get the new Orion. I now have the Orion speedo for the next race on the 7th. I plan on playing with the speedo settings and trying to find out what the best setting and motor timing combo best suits a 13.5 to start with no matter what track you race at.

Has Vortex Race 5.5 motor got bonded or sintered rotor?
