Question about a recone for an Re?

[blaze383]

My friend has an RE 15 but im not sure whether its an se, sx, or what but he claims it to have an Mt cone or somethin but anyways it works flawlessly and is the same cosmetically but has a tiny piece of the foam missing and the basket is cracked. I was wondering If I would have to get it reconed and what kind of price im looking at or if there was something durable enough that I could use to fix it myself. He said $60 bucks and a blown cvr 12 that I have for it. It sounded like a fairly good deal to me so let me know what you guys think, thanks!

Not necessarily, you can pay upwards of 100 bucks for a recone. Especially if it needs a basket.

To the OP, purchase the softparts from Fi, which will be a better deal for you.

Also, take pics of the motor and we can tell you what it is. If it is an SX it will probably be worth the trouble. And SE, not so much. SE's can be had for less than 175 shipped. So you won't be coming out ahead on it if the recones cost 100 bucks.

I went back to the original thread where my friend brought it from and the guy said it was an Sx cone with a TC-9 motor but thanks all!
