Any one run a Reedy Sonic (6.5 or 7.5) and care to share their experience?

How does it compare to Speed Passion/LRP/Orion/etc?

Thanks :thumbsup:

I went from a SP v3 7.5 to a sonic 6.5 and the car feels twice as fast round our small track. Borderline mental in fact. I love it haha.

It isn't actually much faster at all, but it's so much more fun to drive. Will drive it outdoors shortly.

Its easy to win with a motor when you got a factory drive and can run a new motor every run. I also dont like SP motors and think the LRP is a wikid motor (the x12 not tryed x20) and the reedy motor form what i seen is very good :)

Or the touring car onroad worlds for the last events, really shit aren't they, but this is from the man who spouts most of it from his mouth.

I wouldn't normally post reply's Where GazhillAE has commented but his comments are just rubbish!!

To be fair for the original poster. The reedys do look a very nice motor and seem to perform well. You cannot go wrong with ANY that you mention. I like the ease of the plugs on the speed passion motors, some don't.
Good luck on your choice.:thumbsup:

Nicely put :) - for me I'd be purchasing an Orion or HPI, but that's because I like those products!

I know others who like SP, LRP and so forth. Fair play to them

I changed motors in my Centro from a Team Wave 5.5 (which was very lairy) to a Sonic 7.5, left the gearing the same and the car felt faster and was easier to drive. I was and still am very impressed with it.

The 17.5 I bought was a different story but have since learnt that I may have had to gear up dramatically compared to say a Novak Ballistic or LRP
