Anyone know if the Reedy MVP would be worth buying at just over half the normal retail?
The shop is selling the standard untweaked one cheap and I was wondering if it's worth snapping up. I have a lathe and access to different brushes/springs etc, so the whole tuned thing is not a problem.

BTW The MVP on special is NZ$65 and the pro tuned Spitfire is NZ$100.

I know the MVP's run hot and I've read a lot about them, are they really any good? It's just that money is fairly tight this month and the motor is only cheap while stocks last....

Dave,
I hadn't thought about the gear mesh problems you mentioned, I always assumed the Torque rod was just for tensioning the belt. I always have a quick look to see if the cars tweaked before I leave home on a raceday, up til now, no problem..
