1.) RB Fire Combo, €175 shipped 2.) Nova P5XLT, €165 shipped 3.) Sirio C7LB combo (don't know which pipe) €185 shipped.. I'm thinking the Fire has the best power there?.... Do people really race with Fires though? Don't seem to see them much.. |
German shop.. Looks like they're being sold off...
Seems pretty hard to beat in terms of value for money. Even comes with the little front bearing cover(and 2045)... |

Those bearings are 14.5x26x6 just like the bearing in the Bonito.

Well, my Fire 11 is still going strong.. And I think I still want that Blast V8, so I'm going to do my best to not give in.. For now anyway..
|
The F11 engine is a Nova based engine, not sirio based, at one time Sirio has or had owned RB, known as Star motors Co.Not sure if they still own them. The Killer 9 engine line I believe was Sirio based.
|
The Killers were Asian-built engines - Force I think..
The Fires, and all the Blasts are Novarossi-based.. I only mentioned Sirio because I found a deal on a CL7B, and I always heard (and saw..) good things about them. But just for shxx's and giggles, what about the new BX and BXR? I assume they are made with parts from the Nova factory, but how similar is a BXR for ex. to a Bonito? |

I seem to recall that it was more a bad batch kind of thing.. I think they've always been pretty popular over here - and what I've seen of them running anyway was pretty convincing..
I only found out about the Sirio deal because I told another guy about the Fire 11 deal, and he was like, nnnnaaaaa, Sirio is so great, lasts forever, huge power, etc etc.. There used to be a guy here at rctech who was really big on Sirio engines.. - somewhere in Europe.. Forget his name, and haven't seen him around lately.. ps I HATED my (Sirio-built) Orion .24... |
I have run the P5xlt, fire11 and BXR.
Fire11 is just a beast but seems to be a wee bit to much for me with the power delivery in my serpent truggy but still loved it..great on fuel. BXR i am running with the 2087pipe and 198 header which proberly isnt right but its a great linear power easy to get the right throttle input and goes really good top end is close to the Fire but a bit more responsive...not as good on fuel but alright P5xlt is a CRE modded...just awesome like the best bits of the fire and BXR put together...but i can drive faster with the BXR for some reason:confused: |
