I am not as familiar with the 4PKS but start with 100.
One other thing to check - can you post what you are using for ESC settings? You may want to try a higher drive frequency with the Reedy to see if that helps.
I have had motors that cogged on initial throttle but was able to remedy those motors by increasing the drive frequency from 2k to 4k to 8k. Drive frequencies in the 2k range some times caused cogging with the addition of motor timing for some motors.
Good luck.

Since it was coggin i tried different ESC setting to try and smooth it out like messing with punch and and drive Freq. I tried 2,4, and 8. Don't recall going any higher. I let Anthony know that I tried the orca motor and it was smooth but he never have me any advice on what to try to smooth out the reedy. Basically told me if u have any issues with the orca motor let me know.
You've ran modified with a reedy with no problems? 4.5T?
On blinky setup with the reedy everything was fine. Only when I add timing it becomes a issue. Curious if there isn't a problem when using a higher turn motor like a reedy 8.5,10.5,13.5 and so on.
I tried everything I can to get that damn motor to work lol
Another thing I noticed with the orca motor is the brakes don't seem nearly as strong as with my LRP-Reedy setup. I haven't tested the difference on the track but on the bench it is a very noticeable difference in brake strength.
Even with the Brake Freq at 1K it isn't nearly as strong

talk/see you soon, BigzHaha yea man figured if give the ORCA set up a shot. I like trying out new things
You told me to go with ORCA a long time ago lol
Thanks I appreciate the offer to help because I'll probably need it.
I really liked carpet a lot. Only went for 4-5 races though we kinda got sucked into off road once that new place RC clubhouse opened
Ill be down there for sure. Been looking forward to the on road season all winter.
Hope to see you come down and race. Hopefully some more Michigan guys decide to come down too. Should be a real fun season.

I'm using the older Sonic Reedy 5.0 with boost and an orca VXX and I haven't had any problems. I do agree the brakes are a little lacking. My VX on the other hand has great brakes for some reason, as good as LRP.

After going with the manuals suggested settings for 4.5T motors I tried the Hagberg Gran Carania set up.

Turn the initial brake up to make the brakes feel stronger. 10% is a big difference from 0%. Dont be afraid to try stuff. It all makes a difference.

Great suggestion. I probably wouldn't have thought to up the initial brake. I'm use to running brake min on all my cars at 0.
I'll start off at 0 and see how it feels. If needed I'll try going up with the initial brake.thanks!
I'm running 3.3 that it came with. Maybe I'll look into getting the usb so I could upgrade to the 4.0.

No, just calibrate it at 100. Then turn it up to 120 and run it that way. I would think its more suited for blinky. This is how I run my blink car, and I run my mod car at 100. I think 120 is too much instant power for mod. Its almost like an extra punch setting for blink classes.
