who makes the new RB matrix engine?
 

Does anyone know which brand is the new RB matrix 12 engine based? I know the old v12 is Novarossi based.

And where can I buy shims for this engine? the v12 nova shims does not fit.

Thank you.

I believe it is based off of the Sirio.

Yeah it was created in the Sirio Factory

yes sirio head shims will work, the nova's are loose

does anyone know the price of these motors?

Too much for you... :ha: :ha: :ha: partner :spidey:

Pioneer brooklyn hobbies have them not a bad price either can't post the price cause the moderator will flag it for advertising reasons

U should also check www.rcthunderhobbies.net prices r really good. They just got in 10 of them 2day. 5 already gone. So check them asap!

They are Sirio based engines. I bought 2 of them from Brooklynhobbies.com for $259.99. Probably only a places carry them now in the U.S.. Ritchie told me they go blazing fast. I havn't broken them in yet as I'm still building my mtx4 kit.

Wrong! Like I said. www.rcthunderhobbies.net have them in stock. Same price.

I have a review of it at 3hobby.net.

You can find it under "Content", or here is the direct link. The engine rocks! :nod:

No, I'm not wrong. I said only a few places in the U.S. has them, not "no" places has them. RCthunderhobbies.net is one and there is another place in California (I forget The name) carries them also but are out of stock. They are plentiful in Europe though.

yes i am running one it is made in the star motor factory. it is a larger crank and different timing. they are very tight. they tend to run on the warm side about 250 - 260 and yes they are very fast.

Brooklynhobbies has them now for $239.99 and they are out of stock.
