Rest in peace, Mike Reedy
 

Just hearing news through that Mike Reedy has passed away. I think its a bit of an understatement to say that we have lost a legend in the electric RC world.

A true Founding Father of R/C.

Rest in peace.

A true legend

RIP Mike

RIP, Founding Father of RC.

Sad to hear this. This guy was definitely a huge contribution to RC racing as we know it. What a loss.

This is sad and i hope that everyone remembers forever what Mike has done for the sport. Many people and companys are where they are today due to Mike's nature and success. Mike always had a great outlook on Rc and his good nature never went un noticed to me.

I had known Mike since the early 80s when he first came to the indoor champs. I knew he had been sick for a long time. May he rest in peace.

RIP. I wish I could have thanked Mike again for all of his help that he gave to me. I was lucky to have known him and call him a friend.

Mike reedy was a living legend. It's a great loss for the Rc.
My deepst condolences to the family.

RIP

Sad news, never met him, knew all about him.

RIP to a True Legend

Sorry to hear the news of Mike Reedy passing away. He was a true legend in this hobby and he will be missed by all.

I spent many hours picking his brain (back in the day) about motors and just the industry itself. He taught me a great deal and it was fun just to talk to him.

Rest In Piece Mike Reedy, you will be missed.

July 31, 2000 early in the morning. I show up for my first day of work at AE. Who unlocks the door to let me in? Mike Reedy. And I'm thinking holy crap it's the legendary Mike Reedy opening the door for me. I didn't know whether to say 'good morning' or try to get an autograph. Nicest guy in the RC industry. We're gonna miss him. May he rest in peace.

RIP Mike,

You will be missed greatly

I was so lucky to spend tons of time with Mike when I was the Team Manager for Team Losi. Even though we were on opposite sides of the track, Mike was always great to hang with, share life stories and just flat out talk racing. He will be missed.
Rest In Peace Mike

RIP Mike and thank you for all that you did for R/C!

I remember reading about Mike Reedy back in the 90s through RCCA, tried the legendary "Mr." series of off road motors in my buggies, and have never been happier

RIP dear Sir...thank you...

I have a Reedy brushless I picked up secondhand in my CRC Pantoura...I will be reminded of him every time I look over the car...RIP to a legend in the RC industry...

Sad to hear the news of Mike passing on my B-Day. He was an Icon in the RC industry. Im glad I had a chance to meet & shake his hand. RIP Mike!

To Mike's family, our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Brian and I will never forget all the fun we had when Brian ran for Mike and Team Associated way back in the 90's. Mike was a great ambassador to this hobby he so dearly enjoyed. Rest in pease, Mike....from Brian and Dave Berry.

I was blessed to be a part of the Reedy family during my RC career. Mike was an all around amazing person. He will truely be missed.

RIP MIKE.

RIP Mike you wil be missed.:(

While I was working over at Team Associated I had the pleasure of dealing with Mike every day. The stories I could tell are numerous...that was one funny guy! And while not on the same page as some, he would always come out with something that blew everyone away. He just knew his stuff.

I remember his pit space at big races was filled with team motors...and he would sit there all day and true the comms, meticulously solder on new brushes, tweak the springs and adjust the timing. That was his world...and he was the man.

Good times and fond memories. You will be missed, Mr. Reedy. It was a pleasure knowing you.

Rest well Mike, knowing you have left behind so many people whose lives are better for having known you. If there was an RC Hall of Fame, yours would be name Numero Uno on the wall. It was a pleasure to say I knew you, although I could never repay the time and support you gave me in my time in IFMAR. Thanks Mike, rest in peace.

I met Mike in 1975 when electric was really in it's infancy, he also built one of my first .21 nitro engines for 1/8 onroad racing. One of the most pleasant gentlemen I ever met and a true pioneer of R/C car racing. My condolences to the Reedy and Associated families, he will be remembered and missed.

RIP Mike! The memories are endless and will never be forgotten. Thank you for everything. MF

He was a good man and friend. He had a big heart. Mr. Reedy you will be missed and not forgotten the rest of my life.

RIP.....

RC lost a legend today. I am honored to have met and gotten to know Mr. Reedy just a bit. What a classy, friendly, warm and brilliant man. There will never be another Mike Reedy. God Speed Mike Reedy, God Speed...

I think its fair to say that everyone who posts on our On-Road section of RCTech will have run Reedy motors at some point. I loved the power and driveaility of the Ti-series modifieds.

RIP Mike.
