Fastharry, all good Nova based engines will idle well regardless if it's turbo or non turbo.

With a good fuel and assuming no leakages from the carb or any part of the engine and assuming compression is still good, tuning should not be a problem. You just need to tune it right

it muts be the RB motors then..to be honest,the Nova's,Mega;s(in my impulse) and HPI nova motors run great...I own them all..

all 3 of my rb run fast..but as far as idling while waiting for a turn marshall,and then going?...they suck..

Oh, reeeeally? Hmmm... (taps fingertips together in evil Montgomery Burns style)

Check the RB engine for leaks. Perhaps the compression is almost done.

I just finished breaking in my sirio and Im very suprised by how well it idles, much better than my cv-r (although its worn out so thats understadable.) Im very Impressed by the thing so far its running 197-205F after some full throttle passes and even if its running rich its got plenty of power for me and I heard from a few other sirio owners they continue to speed up until youve run a full gallon through it. I still have to heat the thing up with a hair dryer because my starter box cant take the compression when its cold, I cant even turn it over by hand when its cold.

The most common air leak on a RB is the bolt that tightens the carb down. One problem is people overtghten that carb nut down and actually create the air leak. The best thing to do is pull the bolt and seal it up with your favorite goop and reinstall the bolt then set the angle of your carb and snug up the nut. This will help on some of the idling problems, unfortunatly not all.

Hey ntc3 gurus

Has anybody tried using GH pinions instead of the stock ones? What about those K Factory ones? Which is stronger and lasts longer among the two? Part numbers would be appreciated. Cheers.

Hmm, my RB's idle fine. My sirrio might idle better but it's a toss up.

Hmmm, I wonder why RB is putting 2 orings on their carbs for the newer engines they have. The extra one is at the base under the bolt. Most all my RB's have not had a idle problem...my Rody is the only one that gave me a real problem and sealing it up as directed from RB themselves solved the problem.

BB- I got the chassis. It looks sweet. I'll give it a try and let you know what I think.

What tires are better? Ellegi FAST tires, or Nitro Shoes? Are the Nitro shoes 40, the same as the Fast 40's? In other words, if I'm using 40 shore nitro shoes and switch to 40 shore FAST tires, will I notice a difference?

Cool Swen, now you know what I mean about no room for the AE tank! LOL , Hell man, I'll make and try about anything once. Enjoy! BB
