Dear ORCA:
I would like to run in 21.5 blinky TC class with your VX3 esc, 21.5TX motor with HT rotor.
Could you tell me what range of FDR i should try on those 2 tracks of following photos, please?
What motor timing could you recommend me?
I thought should use lowest timing then run smallest fdr.
What temperature is limit of TX motor?
What kind of setup should run on blinky class with VX3?
Best regards

Since ORCA themselves are unlikely to write here, I'll give it a try (before EAM shows up, at least. )
IIRC the usual recommendation for ORCA TX in blinky was to run them timed a tiny bit beyond the "+" sign, and then gear for temps.
I would try to stay around or below 70°C/160F with any motor, at least for continued use.
Setup... well, blinky tells you what to do on all the Timing and Turbo settings, which only leaves Drag Brake (personal preference, really) Initial Brake (also personal preference), Punch(high for a 21.5T... 8-10 and you just might try 10 first) and both PWMs (depends... high values for a smooth and flowing feel, low values, if you prefer more of a "kick" on either or both, throttle and brake)

VX3 17.5 timing
Bought a 2wd buggy that came with a brand new vx3 motor. Anybody point me in the direction of the timing sweet spot? It's a losi 22 buggy if that matters.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Should you refer to my post, that's only valid for timing on a TX motor, not the RX series. (I don't own an RX motor and I don't remember ever seeing an answer when people asked about timing on the RX motors on here).

USB link issue
Hi there,
Can somebody please explain to me how to get the USB link software working? I keep getting an error message when trying to run the program after installation.
I have the orca USB link adapter and program card. I went to the orca site and downloaded the USB link software. I tried installing it which apparently was successful. Then I try executing the program from the desktop icon or the one I got in my start menu and both ask me to plug in the USB device. I plug in the USB adapter with the program card connected and I still get the error.
I used to different computers and get the same errors.
Thanks

The Orca guys should sort that out, really only old or very low end machines run on 32 bits...

Look post #479 and #754, they explain how to install the drivers on Win10

Recently purchased a new VXL3 and rx3 combo. I ran 4 packs through it and now it's screeching like hell. Thought it was the sensor wire and changed it multiple times, it still squeeled. Tried a another motor and it still squeeled. I'm now thinking it's the esc.
I was wondering if anybody had contact info or info on how to get a hold of orca for warranty service.

Did you find out what was wrong with it?

Not being very technical, now I've got the drivers updated and the USB Link working, should I change the Driver Signature Verification back to enabled?

Glad to hear it is working. The verification is typically enabled again by default during the next reboot. You should be ok.
