Rover Man Posted May 25, 2012 Author Share Posted May 25, 2012 Well here's todays update.. First off massive thanks to Sonic of O'Neill brothers UK and Sean O'Niell himself.. Was talking about why O'Niell have a big basher following but none of the national guys run then. So a few E-Mails later and Sean has sent me a 28.5 reed case with a few special mods for me to test and race. Its been delivered today and it looks a great bit of kit. Never ran a reed case before so not sure what to expect but ill get it fitted and ran in and let you all know. And had the holy grail of Losi 5ive upgrade parts turn up. Front and rear red spring So ill get it all built up over the weekend and give it a run and report back. Bring on the power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carpmart Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 When you say 'sent you' do you mean as in gratis? I'd be VERY interested to know how it performs as I've just reserved an OBR Full mod 30.5 for when Sonic receives them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be VERY interested to know how it performs as I've just reserved an OBR Full mod 30.5 for when Sonic receives them Yep, Sean's very kindly sponsoring me with this test engine. So i can give him feedback on what its like on the track against the other tuners engines. So i will post back with my findings But one thing i can say is the build quality is top notch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rover Man Posted May 26, 2012 Author Share Posted May 26, 2012 Yes very lol. Sounds deeper and seems to rev much faster. Only down side is you need arms like Charles Atlas to start the thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
