Tower Hobbies shows late November for the ProLite.
By the way - in case anyone doesn't know - signups are open for the 2013 Psycho Nitro Blast. Not associated with it but going this year and wanted to pass the word.

Has anyone tried the Reedy Sonic 550 5.0 vs the Pro4? I am thinking of heading back to Reedy power just from a preference stand point... Does it produce similar power?

Reedy vs tekin
I have the pro 4 and it gets it and I'm pretty sure wc runs reedy and he loves it just up to you I picked tekin because customer support, and will always for it.

So I've owned the original kit version of this truck since Oct of last year. Have done just about every mod mentioned here. I finally got an Exotek chassis and that did make the truck much, much better. But I still can't keep up with the damn Losi's at my local track!
Last night, I wrecked right off the bat and got pretty far behind the leaders. (nothing new btw) So I took it easy and decided I would follow the Losi's around the track and see where I was slower. Just about every corner! I could keep up with them in the straights, the sweeper, double/triple jumps, but when going thru the chicane, the s curve, and the 180, I lost time in every corner. I just couldn't plant the power like they could. When I tried, I'd either roll or overshoot a corner and end up in the rails.
After really trying to stay close to those guys last night, I walked out thinking it's time to abandon this truck and move to the Losi. Then someone mentioned that the rumor mill is swirling that AE has a new 1/8 based 4wd SC in the works that was shaft driven. I see they have the ProLite4x4 out soon that is shaft driven. Are we to assume that a real race truck is on the way? I like AE, I have a SC10 and a B4.1. I hate to switch to Losi for 4wd only. But I'm one of only a couple guys left at my track running this truck, and one of the others is the Team Associated local driver so you know he has to drive it. It just seems like the Losi is easier to work on, easier to tune, more planted, easier to drive, etc....
Thoughts guys? Don't roast me, I haven't made up my mind. Just thinking of following the path of so many others on this thread.

Correct Cain. I would roll if I tried to carried speed thru the corners. I won't be back to the track till next Wed to test out some of the suggested changes. I will report back to all with my findings.

cool. Yeah, if it was me, I would give raising the ball studs a look. That definitely solved my traction rolling on carpet. Wish I had done that before I took on the hotshoe Losi SCTE driver at the time LOL.

I ran the pro4 4000 and 4600 with the rx8 and sold them both, and now I run the reedy sonic 4.0 550 motor. I've also run the Novak, tekin sc4x, viper, trinity, revtech, and a few others. This motor puts down the power but does it soooooooo smooth. I've found it to be the best motor for our truck.
