From what I have personally witnessed, read and told about that the Mach2 is a dog.

I have been running an older 21.5 Reedy in blinky for well over 12 months set at 40 degrees timing & a FDR of around 3.1. On one occasion a cooling fan failed and the motor got so hot that it ruined the original rotor in it, but after replacing the rotor the motor has been performing well & reliably.

As for suggestions, don't buy another Reedy Mach2.

Cheers
