INSTRUCTION MANUAL AND WARNINGS • READ BEFORE USE!
Thank you for choosing this Team Orion VST2 Pro motor. This motor has been
developed using the input of our 2011 and 2012 IFMAR on-road and off-road
world championship winning team. It features the latest developments in
brushless motor technology.
WARNINGS
• This is not a toy; do not let children operate this motor without the super-
vision of an adult.
• Do not leave the system powered when it is not supervised.
• Do not make the motor spin without a load, this can damage the
moving parts.
• Check the recommended gear ratios and input voltage for your motor, fail-
ure to do so may result in damage to the motor.
• Do not use extreme settings/gearing which can make the motor overheat
and become damaged.
FEATURES
• New generation motor design with enhanced performance and improved
cooling
• Dual sensor input for better sensor wire arrangement and
program box connection
• New sensor module design for improved power control
and brake sensitivity
• New high performance stator core and magnet material
• Low resistance stator winding technology
• Innovative stator ring system
• XL gold soldering tabs
• Rotor removal tool included
INSTALLATION
• Attach the motor to chassis using screws with the proper thread and
length, if the screws are too long it could damage the motor’s winding and
lead to permanent damage
• Solder the ESC wires to the motor, respecting the ABC wires order. Do not
overheat the solder tabs.
• Connect the sensor wire to one of the two sensor ports of the motor.
• Make sure you use the proper gearing for your motor (see the chart).
• When installing a new motor, it is recommended you reset or lower your
ESC’s timing settings. You can also adjust the motor’s timing by loosening
the endbell screws and rotating the endbell.
• Higher timing (turning the endbell anti clockwise) increases the motor’s
performance but it also makes the motor run hotter and less efficiently, use
this function with caution.
USE
• Make sure that all connections are ok before powering up the system.
• Make sure that the motor temperature remains around 80°C / 180°F max.
If the motor overheats it will lose power and excessive heat can also dam-
age it.
• The sensor circuitry is very sensitive to water/humidity, if you run in wet/
humid conditions you must protect the motor from exposure to water. Make
sure you always use the sensor port cover on the unused sensor port.
MAINTENANCE
• Brushless motors do not require a lot of maintenance. You can clean out
the motor and oil the ball bearings from time to time.
• To disassemble the motor, 1. remove the endbell screws and the endbell,
2.rotate the sensor module and pull it out, 3. Insert the tool around the ro-
tor and pull the rotor out.
• Be careful not to lose the rotor spacers and re-install them in same order.
Do not attempt to remove the ring which holds the sensor module.
TROUBLESHOOTING
• If the motor is cogging, remove the sensor wire and test the motor in sen-
sorless mode. If it works in sensorless mode, the ESC, sensor wire or sen-
sor module might be defective. Sensor modules can be bought separately.
• If the motor is not spinning, check the ABC wire order, in sensor mode the
order must be respected.
• If the motor is overheating, check the timing settings and gearing.
