Guys : $360 AUS = about $155 US, so its close to the same price.
AMG, Dei Rossi Hobbies - 02 4626 8300, Im pretty sure they do mail orders.
If not, try www.xtremehobbies.com.au in SA.
If u like, I'll ask Barry (Mugen/Novarossi dealer) on Sunday what he sells them for, and the next time your in NSW, can meet up with him. Barry is very cheap so hopefully could be less.

Thanks Novarossi that would be great. I am after a RS12 non turbo SG crank slide carb...... And a friend of mine is after a RB X12 or he might take an RS 12 like mine

for people who have ran or seen mod engines, in your opinion which is the best? in terms of speed, durability and ease of tuning.

I have heard rumours of early RS12s seizing pistons in the sleeves AFTER breakin. I have also heard people saying that the RS12 has equal or less performance to the MT12. Anyone know anything about this?

my fren has the RS12T too....has been running great. superb overall performance.
but he has to spend 3 nights at the track just to break-in......broke in with 1 gallon of mixture done by the LHS.

The RS-12 is significantly quicker then the MT-12. An easy 15-20% quicker then the MT-12. Realibility is great. Have run about 5 litres through it, still has plenty of compression (as you probably saw in that video clip).
Have run a turbo head on it, not much difference.
EXTREMELY tight to break in, but extremely reliable, and carb settings rarely ever need to be touched.
I owned, broken in, and run 5 Novarossi engines in the past, this is by far the quickest.

Guys, don't want to sound biased 'coz i sell RB products...but... when the RB X12T 5port arrived I went to the track, strapped it to my V1R and broke it in. On my 7th tank, at 230 deg.F, and on the long stretch of our local 1/8 track, I hit the rear of an MTX-2 with a JP RS12, who was a bit ahead coming out to the stretch. I did the same to a buddy who had a V1R with a JP RS12. Needless to say, my RBX12T were sold out that day.
My 2 cents worth, no pun intended.

Teng,
Yeh I'd believe the 5 Port RB would easily catch any other .12 size engine, but the big question is why did RB produce a non-legal engine?
Yeh sure, the engine is aimed at people who race at tracks that arn't governed by any sanctioned RC committees, but are these people willing the spend the big $$$ on an engine, that will not be allowed to run at a ROAR/IFMAR or whichever event?
Personally speaking, I'd rather go out and buy a 1.35hp engine that can be raced at any event, then buy a 1.5hp (what the 5 Ports estimated power is) that can only be raced at a selected few, and not at your big meets which are usually governed by some organisation.
Thats my 2 cents
