The other option is replacing my Tekin Gen2 6.5T with a Reedy Sonic 2 6.0T. Im considering this because Im running a good amount of ESC timing on the Tekin and still not impressed with its power (although the power is sufficient). I've read good things about the Sonic's and could order it with out of pocket cost of >$15.

If I like the Reedy better I could always sell the Tekin but I don't expect to get more than $65-75 for it.

Sounds silly, I know, but any thoughts?
The reedy .0 motors are ballistic! i run the 8.0 in mod buggy and it screams. Reedy all the way. unless you charge a lot of batteries 4 ports is over kill.

I'm running one, the fit is fine because it has such a small footprint. I'm running a 7.5 Reedy motor. I was using a 5.5 mach 2 but it was too much for the track I run at. The 7.5 is perfect and if I go to a bigger track I can ramp everything up and still run cool temps. One of my previous posts has a picture of my car with everything in it.

kicking myself for not buying one before they went out of stock! I guess now I realize I want one more than I thought. Anybody hear any rumors about if/when they might be back in stock? or if LHS's can get ahold of them? the r still looks like a nice option for $150, but I'd prefer to get all the upgrades.

the R is worth the price tag, it's fine if you stick with only minimum necessary upgrades, you'll spend the discounted V3 money, ended up even without big bore shocks.
Or, if you "accidentally" got into the upgrade hole, you may end up with a V4 money for a V3.
Yeah I guess you are right about that. Did a calculation and actually its not worth getting the "r" as it does not come with good upgrades and even if you do upgrade it, it will cost you more money. But the "r" version price tag really looks so GOOD!! I can bet that the new version sure gonna cost alot more than "v3".

Anyways does anyone knows when the stocks are coming in?

man that is some great info on the dex410 at petite. do you guys grease your CVD's often? do you take them apart to grease/rebuild or just squirt some grease in there? if so, how often do you do it?

also, did you guys guys add anything to keep the pins in? they said they added, "We have now added two CVD collars to TD310039 to ensure that even the most poorly-builtand poorly-maintained CVDs do not lose their pins!"
