Where can I find an Orion 5.5t motor ORI28257? Cannot find it anywhere. Called Horizon and Amain, but no one there could help me because the part number was not showing anything.

Casper???!!!!!!! ( or anyone else) When I built mine this week I'm having an issue with the kit shock caps leaking. Used all kit parts O rings and such. When cycling the pistons I still get residual fluid to seep out. Do the team Drivers use the cut shock diaphram/ O rings to sovle this? That what Im debating to do. The kit Oring for the cap just doesnt appear to be thick and large enough for the cap.

Did you install the o ring at the bottom below the threads? Maybe it got torn? Manual is deceiving it does not sit on top of the shock body!

Thanks. It was a ton of fun. I finally got into a rhythm and was having a great time making my way through the fields. I bumped up to about where I expected to be but I will admit this was way more fun!

Yeah you should have an o-ring that stretched over the cap threads on the shock body. This will seal the cap at the base of the treads. Never had an issue at all with the caps sealing there. The cut bladders will eventually suck into the body of the shock after a few uses.

The cap ring should go on like explained in this blog post.

First run with mine last night. Small, bumpy, med/low bite track. Kit setup was too stiff on oil. Went down to 25 rear, 27.5 front. Changed the front pistons to 3 hole 1.4. Yellow rear sway bar and the Phend front camber setup. Car felt okay, still had a problem with the car wanting to barrel roll after dowsiding into 45's to180's. Installed the clicker and the car came to life! I think it was the drag of the front end full time drive that caused that issue.

It didn't fit even at full speed.
Only one arm?
No broken tower?
No bent hinge pins?
No broken bulkhead?
It's pretty damn tough.
I to crashed the crap out of mine and broke only the front right arm, so I thought. Wnet to go replace it and found out the hing pin snapped in half where it is milled out for the set screw. Be careful. Lucky for me i stole one from my 22-sct that has been sitting for 2 months. Ordering replacments now but to bad they dont sell them seperate.

The kit oil is from overseas, the Losi and/or TLR certified oil is from the US and tested consistently in house.

These aren't available in the US yet. The Vortex Pro and VST 5.5T motors barely sold at all, so when the Orion VST2 Pros were brought in, the 5.5T was not. It is in the process of getting added to the line up, but will likely be a few months.

The Dynamite DPS 5.5T is working great for many of the guys on our team as they weight for Orion Motors.

Ride height 19mm front and 23mm rear with the body on. I also run the left side of the saddle pack battery forward.

I started with the Dunford set up. I really like the car. Really easy to drive. But I have a bad push. We run on a slick wet clay tight track. Im getting killed in the tight 180's. Any suggestions?

Thanks, I was beginning to think that, as it clearly shows the motors only on Team Orions page. No one I talked to here in the US had any clue of what I was talking about and insisted they did not make one. Thanks again.
