I am still looking for a pipe for my C6, the 2045 RB pipe in the buggy class doesnt pass the RC Pro Series stinger size, the stinger is to big, their little gauge thing that is suppose to not fit into the exhaust hole just slides in.

Savoya is running the 2045 with the 192 header, I just saw him in Vegas this last weekend at the Silverstate race, and I looked at his buggy.

Not bad price seeing as the ws73 is 239.99.

A WS9 for $442 + shipping? That's more expensive than an OS Speed II :eek:

adz06 04-09-2009 09:15 AM

Thats the UK for you mate, over here os speed 2 is over £300+

You are not limited to buying from one country/location. The current prices listed for the RB WS9 is outrageous. The Speed II is no where near that.

BMI Hobbies in Plano, Tx just signed up to be a distributor for RB.

They only have one US source that importing from France and it just happens to be located in Texas now.

BMI was told that the WS9 and B9 should be avaliable to them in about 2 weeks. They are waiting on the product catalog then they will be placing orders for the new Line of RB.

So in about 2 weeks we should have real prices on these engines and they will be in the US so shipping will go down.. :nod:

Look them up online and get there number to call and check status or check there online store they have.

I won't post the link, so I am not advertising, but you can google BMI Hobbies and find them, or PM me for more info about them.

I am not. With the added customs price tag the RB comes up much higher. Price-wise I would stick to an O.S.

blktransam 04-11-2009 09:52 AM

I thought this was the RB thread not the O.S thread?^^^^^^.........

Add 0.1mm shim to the engine.

Just make sure you know, shims aren't all 0.1mm.
Stock the engine should have two shims;

1) 0.2mm
1) 0.1mm

that gets you a total of 0.3, you need one more 0.1 for 30 percent(0.4mm). You could also use two 0.2mm shims if you wanted, to only have to bother with a total of 2 shims.

EDIT: if you want to run 20 percent, use 0.3mm in shims total (probably the two the engine came with....although i'd still check)
if you want to run 30 percent, use 0.4mm in shims total

I was told also about two weeks on the 9 series. I will be trying out the five port (RB "Hobby" 9) when they become available. Prices are not bad, you pay for quality!:nod:
