huge power increase in the 3 port and brings a smoothness to the 5 port as well as a power/runtime increase .

much better throttle response

i might start to fill the cranks , its not a huge improvement but definitely noticeable

Default Crank

Just wondering if you could tell me if there is a different crank that will work in the Reedy .21 The putty has come out of my crank and I have a crank on the way. Would a V-spec or Speed crank work? They are very similar and measure out the same.

Thanks, Nick
