Orion Revolution V2 13 x 1

[chris burgess]

OK, just bought this from ebay, it was advertised as a 11x1 but clearly isn't me and the seller have come to an agreement though!

The motor was dismantled when it arrived, because a brush is broken. The motor clearly hasn't been run (apart from running in) so thats Ok.

Question is, whats the timing point on this thing? There are no destructions included with it, so i have not got a clue where to start!

Chris,

If you look around the edge of the endbell, where it fits up against the can, directly in line with one of the screws you will see a tiny mark - this is the timing mark.

I run mine anything between 2 and 3 divisions. I've never used a 13 though, I usually use either 10's or 9's.

Enjoy!

Thanks tom - I was hoping you would pop by!

I'll start at 2 and then see how it goes from there.

normally any v2 end bell motor comes timed at two segments, as tom says you run anywhere between 2 and 3 segments, but the only way to really know is on a motor tester, you should be looking for 40-50 thousand rpm at @13 amps depending on wind, what you will find is the ampage varies a lot even with a half segment shift but the rpm remains high, the timing marks are only a guide as if you look closely its a sticker and is only as accurate as the girly who stuck it on. most people who suffer from a hot motor will turn down the timing from 2 to 3 but without being able to measure the effect you could be making it worse. i use the peak motor tester whivh is v nice and allows you to run in the brushes at .9v. as well as testing.
