Although its my first 17.5 I love my reedy sonic. I'm running it in a xxx-SCB and it's powered by a mmp. 21/90 gearing (10.41 fdr), 30 degrees of can timing and 50 degrees of boost starting around 5k and ending around 19k. Butter smooth power band and crazy fast. Definitally one of the fastest out of all the boosted scb's at our track. This motor has tons of power on the low end too. I'm very happy with it! It's so much fun clearing the big jumps that others can't...oh yeah and sometimes my buggy will stand on the bumper. Awesome motor!

i have ran couple trinity motors, novak and a orca and they all are fast if geared right and not overheated. so i cnt honestly say which is better than the other or what but they do have diff sweet spot and that is for sure there. i can hang with the classes that i race with every race days and b very competiteve with all of these diff brands of motors. so if u get a top manufactuers product you can b very competitive guys

I've been running a Hacker Skalar recently. It's the best I've run so far (HV setup).

Yea that's why I'm confused as to which rotor is the tuning rotor. I'm not seeing the 13mm available anywhere
