Reedy Sonic 540.DR competition brushless drag racing motors

After months of work by Reedy’s engineering and racing team, Associated Electrics have announced the release of the Reedy Sonic 540.DR competition brushless drag racing motor. Externally, the 540.DR looks much like its cousin, the 540-M4. But the heart of the motor is where the major changes can be found. A new stator with an updated profile, thicker laminations, and unique material has been crafted specifically for the requirements of drag racing. Ample torque off the line with heavy pull through the pass improve ET and consistency.
