Reedy Sonic 540 Mach 2 motor

Reedy Sonic 540 Mach 2 motor

At the JConcepts Winter Indoor Nationals Reedy are debuting their new Sonic 540 Mach 2 motor. Small modifications were made to enhance performance, reliability and user-friendliness. A new alloy end cap replaces the plastic version to prevent accidental timing movement and to provide better bearing alignment. Strategically placed vent holes are now slightly smaller to reduce the chance of debris entering the motor while still maintaining excellent airflow. Internal changes include new bearing sizes to increase maximum RPM and to improve reliability as well as silver plated solder tabs to reduce power robbing resistance. The precision balanced high-strength sintered rotor remains the same as in the original model with a variety of optional rotors available to fine-tune for specific applications and tracks. New 6.0, 7.0, and 8.0 models are now available for greater fine-tuning for specific conditions.
