Shane, you fried you motor. The motor life was not the fault of Reedy, since when you did you bearings, you didnt fully tighten the rear plate.

Like i said friday, we can lean it a little more, it just had more power then you were used to at that point. Now to get your tank issues fixed.

Has anyone try a 2053 pipe on this motor yet?

Hi,got my new Reedy,looks great,but can't seem to fit the Losi 2-piece engine mount to it,fits fine on my RB,but the only way it would fit the Reedy is by filing a slot in the engine mount holes.Anyone had this problem before,if so,how did you overcome it?

I am not familiar with the losi mounts. can you explain why it doesnt fit? and maybe we can offer some advice, i have found the engine mounts no different to any other motor i have ever owned

cheers
Gary

the losi mounts can be a bit tight on some motors when i had mine what i used to do was put the mounts on the motor and leave it all loose then bolt it down to the mount , ten tighten your motor the plates , are you putting the mounts on in the rite direction ?

Hi thanks for the replys,the mounts are reversible so you can pull the motor 2mm forward for when you use a normal clutch set-up instead of the Losi 4 shoe clutch.I got around the problem by drilling the holes in the mount slightly bigger where the pin locates on the top and bottom plates,i think this is because the Reedy motor is slightly narrower then other motors,certainly narrower then my RB,but its all fitted now,just waiting for the weather to improve a bit,then i can get on with breakin in the motor,can't wait.

HI
can u guys suggest a good pipe for good fuel millage and low-mid end power?
Thanks

I honestly don't think you can go far wrong with the AE 2035 pipe and manifold buddy. EFRA legal as well. 'Tis a good all rounder in my opinion


Done about 15-20 tanks on my engine since i've got it. Very impressed. P4 plug and AE pipe and manifold. Getting a steady 8mins 30secs already. Still running rich on the bottom though and plently of smoke through the rev range. Did have a problem with it feeling very 'flat' half way through the power curve. Found that out to be a lean LSN...some how about 0.5 of a turn to lean...woops lol

My poor Reedy

Well truly one of the best running and most reliable motors I have had. Sadly while doing a complete tear down preparing for next season, I noticed that the putty in the crank moves a bit and is really soft. I'm thinking I caught it before it actually came out. So I guess the real question is... I got this motor when they first became available. Other then the putty it runs great, but would like to know if this is something I can send it back for?

It has about 5 gallons on it.

Call up AE, ask for Chris. He should be able to take care of you

That issue has been taken care of before for other racers.

I have the putty coming out of 2 of my reedy motors cranks that both have less then a half gallon on them. I was wondering if anyone new if I can just send them the cranks in because I have spent the money and had both motors modded and really would like not to have to pay for it again on 2 new motors.

Thanks, Nick

Modding the motor will likely remove the warrenty. Give AE a call, and ask them. They may replace the crank for you, but i know they will not give you and new engine and pay for modding.

Most likely, they will replace the crank and case. That why your carb, and piston and sleeve are still your old ones.

Just curious if there is another crank that would work in these motors. They internals are very similar to a V-spec. Does anyone Know?
