Default Most reliable 6,5T on the market?

Hi gents.

My speed passion V2 6,5T was giving me full satisfaction until some strange and not curable noise comes from it, with drastic loss of power...

It looks like the rotor has now some play within the bearings for unknown reasons, and replacement of the bearings did not cure the issue.

I'm not really blaming it, I've abused it several times, drove it very hardly, never really maintain it apart a few oil drop, and it lasted 2 years, not too bad...

Anyway, I'm on the market for a replacement, and I would like to get your advices regarding which 6,5T has the best votes for reliability at the moment?

If you got 2 years out of the SP 6.5 why not get another one? for 60 bucks they are hard to beat.

Dunno, maybe some others would last even longer even with paying more?

But I do agree, SP do not have to be blame at all.

+1. As for slop in the rotor, remember there are moving parts and they do wear over time. I'm happy if I get a year out of a motor, so if you are getting two years I don't think you have any reliability issues- stick with what's working for you.
