I had a Sonic Mach 2 17.5t in my B5, and it was a decent motor, but the 17.5 M3 short stack motor I used in my B5M Lite was a beast.
For the 22T 2.0, I tried a couple of 13.5t motors, and wasn’t really happy with any of them. I had an Atomik RC Redline motor and a Team Powers Actinium, but they always seemed slow.
Since I had good luck with the 17.5t, I decided to get a 13.5t SS for my 22T 2.0, and wow, this thing is a monster. It flat out rips. It’s probably faster than my Atomik 10.5t motor.
Jumps I could barely clear, I’m now over-jumping by 1-2 feet. The front straight features a small rise that I would wheelie a couple of inches on my buggy. On my stadium truck, it’s doing full back-flips if I don’t let off the throttle. I’m going to have to put a wheelie-bar on it!
The latest generation of Reedy motors have been awesome in my experience, and they’re also one of the more cost-effective at $90 (or less). Bang for the buck, I don’t think you can beat them.
The solder tabs are a little large though – I had to cut off the corner of the A-tab to get it to fit in my truck, other than that I’ve been very happy with this series of motors. Quality is great, performance is awesome, price is good, replacement parts are available, and support is good.
If you’re building a spec race car on a budget, this is definitely a motor to consider.
Reedy in a TLR? It doesn’t quite fit, so you have to trim down the left-most solder tab a bit.
