reedy is smoother, but lrp has more torque
you can always gear a smoother reedy for more torque. the two motors arent supposed to be geared the same with the same timing settings...
looking at maifields gearing with the lrp motor he was at 81/23 with -10* timing (reedy 2011), with the reedy motor he is at 78/20 with 15* timing (reedy 2012)
