no no no no. Not the big orange thing that looks like a fuel filter. But in the smaller plastic pieces. There are two of them. One has a nipple on one end the other has two nipples, one on each end. They are flat and round and look like a single round fin with small hole in it. These are what I would assume are the dust protectors but not sure how they mount.

Gas Cooler
Well I bit the bullet and bought a Shark 10 from absolute (price was AWESOME for engine/pipe combo) and it came with the RB gas cooler. In looking at the package for the cooler everything looks straight forward except what I can assume is the "dust guards". They look like they press into SOMETHING and have 1 or 2 solid nipples on them. Can anyone shed some light as to where they go and what they really do???

No it is not true, the crankpin on a Novarossi is smaller than the crankpin on an RB. It is possible someone had an old engine with a worn WS7 crank and the Nova rod was able to fit on a worn crank, but I would not try it.

hi guys... I recently bought a shark 10 for my buggy... its the very first time I ran RB... would like to know what is the time to change the rod...
planning of putting ceramic bearings after break-in and the changing the rod at 4 gallons as I ever do with the os, werks and nova... by doing this how many gallons of fuel would I spec the engine to run 8, 9, 10?
thanks

rod
segreda...after it loses the metal pinch around the 2 gallon mark would be the best time to change the rod. Randy here you go http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...-Crank-Bearing
