My last race was a 30 min main. I clipped a barrier 1/2 way through & performance was down after that but I can't say that it was the motor because the crash likely compromised my set up. I checked tightness/compression the other day & it still is very tight. I was also running a G4s with stock transmission. They have an ED tranny for it which is supposed to lighten the load on the engine. I just picked up that mod so hopefully my temps will go down from there. Also note that I always fatten up the top end a little after qualifying as I also feel that over a long run you don't want it that lean.

Hey dremmelboy,

I've noticed that the Circut C-6 is no longer listed as an option on the RB web site. Only two off-road motors and the Rody C-6. Has the standard C-6 been discontinued? If so what new option is RB offering that is not a tune motor for the .21 on-road car?

Thanks in advance for your response,
Roger

Hey guys.
I have an older RB X12 engine that I'm pretty sure needs a new p/s/r set. I'm pretty sure I read the same set from the V12 will fit, but I wasn't sure. Also, what would be the comparable novarossi set for that block? I haven't had much luck finding the RB set so far.

Jamie,
I was JUST checking Chris' message on this. Since it's for my brother (and he's not paying anything) I'm leaning toward the stock set. Then again, the price of either will decide what I'll get and do with the motor in the end.

ok thanks... now i'm having issues of the engine not able to hold idle...

the engine will simply stall/die upon the slightest impact. tried increasing the idle screw but still same...

can low/no compression cause this?

thanks...

All right well I have been searching for a bit now for more power and have cycled thru many companys engines. RB comes highly recommended so I have picked up a R3 .12 for my NT1. Now I live in Denver, Co. so the air is pretty thin up here. My question is what pipe/manifold combo is best? I heard the 2604 works very well. Also I run 30% Werks fuel what shimming should I be at for altitude and optimal preformance and power. Lastly in what temp range to these engines run in? I want to make sure I get the most out of my engine since the competition is pretty fierce up here. Thanks in advance and look forward to finally fullfilling my need for power.

yes to your questions
try look at your throttle link. Brake for 2 sec to see if the engine will stall.

Guy,
This is what I am here for, support! I am an open book, and whatever knowledge I have I am more than glad to pass off. It was fun pitting with you and Vincent and the rest of the 301 boys. See you guys this weekend.

Don't sweat the other thing, even though I am inside. LOL
Just kidding racing is racing and occasionally things like that happen. We both handled it in style. After all you are my Teammate and I was glad to see you advance regardless of the circumstances.
