I knew a guy that ran for Schurr Speed. # months later, I see a different motor in his car. I asked him why the switch from Schuur Speed. His response...."I wanted Super Speed". This was when he switched to Hacker Motors, which were very strong, but they went out of business in the US. If I can find something as fast as my Ion V4 (d3.5) and runs cool, then I am down. More than likely I will end up with a reedy in my car...Mainly because I am a fanboy. I give Reedy and AE shit, but I still prefer their product. I just think they could benfite by changing a few things. The B5M lite is a giant step in the right direction. Regardless of what Rick says though, the Reedy packs are slow. I have tested their numbers against other packs and they are just behind in battery technology.

We have done quite a bit of testing (we being the onroad crowd) and found this not to be the case. This is cycling packs, both charge and discharge, on Turbo 35s as well as iChargers. The latest Reedy packs I have are under 1.5mohm resistance on the iCharger every time and the runtime and voltage points at set discharge numbers are all on par with anything out there.

When did these 'new" reedy packs come out. I last tested them about a year ago.


The also the trinity packs are about 1.1mOhm and stay that way for a while. How good are those Reedy Packs after 6 months?

B5M factory light...wait I just built my own. Maybe, I should have waited a couple more weeks. Any idea what the price is going to be?

Also, how well do the Losi aluminum drive shafts work? Anyone have the part # for them? Running the Mip Puck stock setup in my B5M, but maybe my son's B5 could use them...

Thank you for the help

I am kinda waiting to take a look at SMC's 100c packs. But they are very slow to get packs to market.

For those that have gone to the three gear, I'm curious how much steering gets added, is it to the point where you had to do multiple changes to tone it down? Just doing some set-up theorizing while my junk is in the mail.

It's not that much and it is mainly on power steering. IMO theres really not to much you need to do but according to Kurt Wenger from Schelle the 30 degree kickup with 0 degree hub inserts helps a lot. I will be testing this tonight.


Who has tried Pro Match batteries and how does their 4800 90C battery compare to say a Trinity 100C?

Was just browsing Reddit and saw this random post:

Oh, yep. That's me. I had some dust on the wing to knock off.

Seriously though, that is a sick whip.

Wallie may not have done well at the Reedy race, but if there was a best whip contest.. He would rock it.

I know HOW to whip an RC car, but I don't have the BRAIN to make it all come together in that short period of time.

Vito, the most notable parts on the new car (in my opinion) are:

- 3 gear transmission
- HD rear axles
- Light chassis
