What is the difference with the following Reedy Sonic rotors and when should someone switch out rotors? Also, could someone suggest a good brushless motor tuning machine? (and I thought brushless motors was suppose to spare us from the brushed motor tuning crap)

On the website the following are listed:
#954 – Sonic Stock 12.3 x 24.2
#955 – Sonic Stock 12.3 x 25
#956 – Sonic Stock 12.5 x 25
These three (3) rotors all have same 7.25mm reference? what does this mean?

#957 – Modified 12.2 x 25
# - Modified 12.5x25
These two (2) rotors all have the same 5.0mm reference? what does this mean?

How do the above differ from the #908 540 – SL rotor?

At the track someone mentioned Reedy Sonic sell a rotor specifically for 1s racing? Can’t seem to find it on the website? At a local track, Donnie Lea, ROAR national champion is having great success with the LRP SXX and LRP X12 motor combo.

Thanks for your help in advance.
The 7.25mm/5.0mm is the ID of the shaft around the magnet. The mod rotors are smaller, so there is more magnet. For 1s racing, people at our track have been liking the 12.3x24.2 stock rotor. Doesnt fall off as hard later in the run.
