Reedy Sonic SP5 Euro-Spec motor

Reedy has released a new Euro-spec version of its Sonic SP5 stock motors.  Due to slight difference between European and US rules, a small change to the factory build sheet is required.  Only the heat-transfer epoxy coating has been eliminated in the Euro-spec version. Otherwise, both versions are identical.  The performance of the SP5 starts at the heart of the motor–the stator.  Designed in-house, the stator’s profile is intended to achieve maximum torque and power output without sacrificing RPM. High-quality copper magnet wire, sized to the maximum that the rules allow and wound with care to keep resistance near the legal minimum, is a key factor in achieving maximum performance.  An oversized collector ring not only dissipates heat, but in conjunction with thick solder tabs, reduces resistance and power loss.
