I had a VX1 with the posts removed. Never had any issues. Wired in like the older LRP speedos.

No issue to remove the post, but make sure not to over heat the ESC while removing the post.

you can also solder the wire to the post side way

I just want to thank Anthony and Eric Anderson from ORCA for standing behind their products after the battery pole reversal. It could not have been handled any better. After the initial disappointment, I may be an ORCA customer for life.

Thanks again

Hey Leon,

Not a problem. We are glad that you are a fully satisfied customer now and glad we could help you after our mistake with the battery!

Thanks!!

Thank you. I did think about going sideways. What would work best is to solder to the bottom side of the board. I did get the speedo in last night without taking the posts off. Just a really tight fit in the 22 MM buddy.

hi guys. need some help please. I am running the VXX esc and RX3 17.5 motor in boosted. I need some suggestions as to the fdr and esc settings. I can not get it on the same pace as with the TX motor. Any suggestions please

Samethings for me! I am always faster with my tx 17.5 timing past 1.5mm past sign + vs rx-3 17.5 blinky mode with vx-3 esc!

I tryed many different fdr with 2 motors back to back on carpet with my t4-14 and always faster with tx motor!

need to know a good direction to gear and timed my rx-3!

For 96ftx48ft carpet track try this.
Timing plus 4 ticks
FDR 3,8ish

Always check temp on first run after 3min. Add or subtract gear based on motor temp from here. Motor will smell when it gets to around 140deg F, this is normal. Try not to let it get over 150 with a fan. It will start to fade if it does.

I hate to sound like a complete doofus.....but here goes. I have been out of the hobby for a while (9-10 years) and have recently jumped back in. At our last club race I was in a hurry to make my heat and plugged my battery in backwards. I discovered this is a very bad thing to do with the new esc.s and lipo packs!

My question is two-fold. Is it worth while sending an esc in to be repaired (Orca VXX) and if so, does anyone have the company info for service.

I have a 21.5 that I use for USGT with the timing at the plus mark on the motor. I would like to use it in my mini for the Tamiya race this year. What is the maximum timing for this motor? Unlike my other motors where I can turn the timing up to a max point and it stops, I can turn the timing plate almost 180° from the printed marks on the motor. Would anyone have any pictures or recommendations for timing?

Thanks

Not sure what motor you are talking about but the ORCA TX you want to run about 2mm or a bit more past the + sign. The RX I am not sure.

It is the TX. Wasn't sure how far to go since there isn't a place for it to stop turning.

Thanks
