I have the Reedy in my RC18MT and the CC Micro Pro in my son's RC18B. The CC gets the nod because the Reedy is a PITA about reverse. It has to sit there for what seems like an eternity before it goes into reverse and even once it does, it won't give you full power. The CC also seems less prone to cogging at low throttle and the ESC case is much better quality. I've had the Reedy ESC case pull apart on me before because it's just a cheap snap together case.

Given the choice, I'd take the EZ-Run 25A priced below the Reedy or the CC priced above it.

well, i do not much care about reverse. i am more looking in regards to quality, durability, speed, and temps. Also, I want to inquire on the reedy motor itself also. thanks for your input...

I think that Reedy is based of a Hong Kong Model a friend of mine tried. It worked "ok", but wasn't that great a quality. It also had a crappy low range feel. If you have the money, go castle (tekin first IMO, but I digress). If your on a budget, get the Ez-Run 25.
