It's a gem for sure
What is your experience as far as torque goes in comparison to a Pro4 motor?

Looking forward to seeing one of these Reedy's in person to compare, but from what I have seen from the Tekin and Novaks without the larger rotor, the 540 4 poles have more torque. may not be as smooth though.

Default Torque Curves

540 4 pole has way more torque then a 540 2 pole

550 2 pole has even more torque the a 540 4 pole

unfortunately, that is not what I saw in actual real world use with the Tekin 550 in several configurations or the Novak 550 (stock rotor, not the 13mm). It is what it is WC, on the extremely tight indoor carpet tracks I run on, torque in king. Guys are running Pro4 style motors in there 2wd stadium trucks to get that instance punch they need over the jumps coming off 180s where you are at a dead stop.

Can't comment on the Reedy however, never seen one used around these parts but doens't mean that it hasn't been. Will have to check around, but the usual "its smooth" nomenclature means "it doesn't have as much instant torque'.

As far as the Center diff working, yes, it does. As for Cameron's issues, I talked with him about what really happened, and it was no issue with the Center Diff as you already know but choose to ignore. It is what it is WC.

O please tell us what really happen ....

If there was no issue why did have to remove to get good laps like he did achieve with the VTS..
I drove his truck , watched in person carefully everything he did ...

His pit was about 10 ft away from mind ...


Up O !

Sounding like another engineer story....

Saw motor or ESC issues during each qualifier & main...

I think a fail safe was being tripped , every heat it kicked in ... don't know for sure , ask um ...

O that's right you did ask , sorry....
or this one?

Told um was not to be disappointed & not to give up the Sc10.

But that truck itself was great.
No problems with how it drove after he switched the set-up .

It had great traction , jumped the siszor's just fine ...
In fact the truck never miss behaved when I drove it , that was for about 8 or so laps .
Told um not to change it ...


lets here your story.....
Which jives with what he said when I asked, that he was hunting essentially for anything to fix the issue.

But hey ... don't let the truth or your own words get in the way ...

back to racing fellas.

any opinions on whether to use overdrive or not.

I am currently using it and may switch back to regular pulley to see how handling changes.
