Got my kit yesterday. Should be assembled in the next few days. Also don't know if I've made a mistake or not but while looking for a good deal on the go tech gx2 I came across a good deal on a the new rb concepts fire 12 and 2087 pipe header combo. So it's in the mail. Apparently I will need a steady trigger finger with this engine in the mugen, but this is a top quality engine I think.

I race a 19 speed amongst others, great engine for the new gen of lighter buggies. Has alot of usable power and gets it to the ground better than most would with a fat trigger finger and 21.

congrats!! great car...but also great engine!
i have it, to be honest i have the f11, but if the f12 is as good as the 11 (which i do believe) you will be super happy!
in my opinion best RB engine, great price and got super power!!
you will need a steady finger for sure, but when you push you can beat most of the engines out there..mine has the same top power of my friend's nova toro nero, but more powerful at low rpm.
super easy to tune and break-in! though it does not have super long run times..
if you are racing long finals you would prefer the x11 or the b11..with just a little less power but longer run times!
i didn' t race this year so i just enjoyed the massive power of it!!
i'm about to compare it with my new alpha a852..i ll let you know the differences!

yeah the the bloke at the shop i bought it had nothing but good stuff to say about it, in his words its a "nasty little f%$#er" lol. but this is a race car not a basher so im not sure if its a wise choice. time will tell. there must a smaller venturi or some pipe combo that will help make the power more progressive from the bottom.

jackdani

hahah!
it true..
try to use a smaller venturi,
the one that comes in the box (at least my f11)
it s huge..it s a 9!!
but the engine screams damn good!!

What's better the battery forward or in the rear or does it really depend on the track....

personally i prefer it in the back at all tracks, both buggy and truggy.

thanks for the reply....... being in the back might help on rear traction a little huh

yes and it jumps better, with it forward it always landed on the right side. also i saw no steering gain, just made the rear feel kinda loose, just prefer the old radio tray setup.

that's what i have found too. havent tried the long chassis and forward battery in my truggy yet, but i'd bet it feels the same way

Bugga. Whilst checking the contents of kit bag b against the bag list in the manual I discovered there's 2 screws missing. Upper rear diff housing. big disappointment thought mugen kits where the best WTF.

Can you guys help out? Which of the two rear plates ie 0 or 1 increases anti -squat, given that you keep the front position of the hinge pin untouched.
I tried to measure the distance of the hinge pin to the chassis,but the result was not so distinct to help me establish which of the two increases anti-squat.
Thanks for any input.
