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.
