Yes, the MC2 is a great motor. It can compete with the TSR. There were a few of us who had them at Hudy. EA, Juca, Leeman and myself had them in 17.5 TC. I don't know who had them in 1/12 scale.

My mcode 17.5 was 159 grams.
I weight one of my customer mc2 motors and it was around 152 grams
What I find interesting is the stack measured over 21mm, so is short stack no longer the it thing?

Wow, 21mm seems large. If I remember correctly 19.3mm is what my D4 short stacks measure.

Just received my MC2 in the mail today and the fit and finish are top notch! Numbers on the test sheet look very impressive and the damn thing feels like a mod motor. I'll be trying it out next weekend.

how are people receiving these motors if they are listed as out of stock on their site, with no ability to backorder or preorder?

I'm pretty sure that they are being tested by the team drivers so that when available they can answer questions about it

I hope the sensor boards are more robust than the V1. Never great when a 3 run old motor kills a sensor board and you can't get them over here.
