T9 for me was running really well with lots of speed and very stabile performance, how ever after some 7 liters (16%) of fuel, middle rpm needle started to leak badly. Of course this can be coincident, but another dude with similar engine usage time had the same problem.
Seems that orings on middle rpm needle have to be change every 5 liters at least.

The o-ring looked fine, I used teflon tape (plumbing tape) which instantly fixed the problem.

Dear all, I've just spent the last couple of hours reading the RB thread and found it most enlightening.
There's an old note about changing con rods. Pay attention to it. Our R3 was very tight when it was new. We didn't change the rod. Leading the B at the fast and flowing Halifax track, it broke halfway down the back straight. Case, piston, liner all shagged.
The T9 RC has to be tried. Ours injested a bit of grit into the front bearing seal and started sucking in air. Waiting for some BOCA specials. The engine flies, can be run very warm and the RC crank is a work of art.
We run NT1s in the British National Series. The Works drivers change engines 3 or 4 times over a weekend. We are seriously considering running Uriah's units next year. Winning comes at a cost ! ! ! but it's worth it.
My son Peter drives, all I do is build 'em and buy the bits. We like RB, the French guys are mainly racers and are very helpful.

As far as i know RB makes two onroad 3.5cc engines and one rally game engine. The C9 is surely out of your budget, so the only remaining option is the Classico 9. You could as well look into other engine manufacturers.

I want to be with RB cause i have the best support from the guyz there...
I was wondering is the xenon .21 is a good engine. I know is older version but i think is still one of the top engines in low budget!! isnt it?

I owned one many many years ago, great engine. At the time, this was easily the quickest engine. Unless your at the stage where 0.1 a lap means winning and losing, this motor should be fine.
