Not sure, it depend on your speedo.
Last week-end i've run on a "huge" track (european style).
With my sxx v2 speedo, 4.0 soft + 4.5 sonic, i should put max motor timing (30° on the old can) and 1.5.6.3 for the speedo.
I've lost time to find the setup as i was afraid to put lots of motor timing.
But i' ve remember that x-12 have a minimum timing of 27.5° .
I know 4.0 would be best but sometime 4.5 with lot of timing have a better feeling.

where do these motors like the timing? im trying to tune my wgt with it and having some trouble figuring out rollout/timing curve for the motor. does it like mechanical timing or dynamic and where in the rpm range?
I tried tuning it with full timing through the whole range with zero bell timing, and leaving it at 20 as it comes, adding a little up top with more teeth. doesnt seem to matter what i do though, the car feels sluggish and doesnt really have the pull others do. its a smooth motor for sure. i dont get that suddent turbo jolt on the straight.
still figuring out this timing stuff. my lrp took a good while to figure out with the inserts ect.
rolling out around 70mm in all attempts.

does anyone tried comparing lap times againts Duo 3.5 yet? just wondering...
D3.5 forum sounds like they might be a little bias.

Hi,
do you know if there is a difference between 10,5 Reedy Sonic and 10,5 Thunder power please?
best regards,

My 21.5 was sluggish out of the box. I blasted the bearings and re oiled them and kept racing. after 3 to 4 practice and race days the motor started to wake up. Now it has a lot of races on it. Temps have dropped, torque and rpm seem to have gone up, and I am extremely happy with the motor. Best of all it kept all of its smoothness. I'm running 40-42 on the endbell timing. I'm running a blinky class so I can't help with the esc boost settings. I don't have any problems keeping up with the revtech, d3, speed passion, or Novak motors in the same class. If I was in the market for another motor I would definitely go sonic again.
would also agree with 6376vette it did seem to be better after 2-3 runs

The 21.5 has been my first foray into the brushless scene. i used to be running 3rd, 4th and 5th and now im taking 1st constantly in qualifying and mains!
Im now a Reedy man and never going back

Not yet in touring car but in 2wd buggy I had as much hp down the straight as my friend with a d3.5 and more punch too. As far as laps times, single fast lap to fast lap in the main, i was .1 or so faster. I really like these motors. I know different drivers is like apples to oranges, but its the only real comparison I've done.

Hi,
do someone have compare Sonic 10,5 with Thunder power 10,5 please? ( or 13,5 sonic with Thunder power)
they look the same nut there are some little difference with the look and I guess the sensor in not exactly the same.
I have a thunder 10,5, it works pretty well, but I prefer look of Sonic, and I would like to know if it work as well with 0 timing from esc than the Thunder please?
