I was about to buy it, but my V11s are still going strong.

From what I understand, the crank in the V15 is a high dollar on-road engine crank. Good stuff.

The RB Blast V15 is on sale today only at Amain for $159...

"High-dollar on-road crank"? Sounds reminiscent of the Fire, an engine I really really like...

I've never heard any complaints about any of the Blasts to be honest.. They're all made of the old school C6 and other Italian high-quality parts afaik..

Awesome, I'm would be coming from a nova n.21r limited (low budget motor), would I see a large gain in performance? I am also thinking the 2045 pipe, but how does it compare to a Orion 2013? This would be going in my original d8.
Heard these break in like a picco, I pray not like my picco p3 .28, it has 3 gallons and still mechanical pinch and high temps.

This V8 (yellow truggy) looked fast as hexx to me... The V15 should be at least as good, if not better..

My V11s rip... almost too much power for buggy. More than enough in truck.

Almost 7 months old, no idea how many gallons, still passes the flop over test, tons of compression. I thought it was on it's way out, then I found a cracked pressure line to the tank. Even then, it always held idle, just a little soft down low.

Wish I had some video of them for you guys. Will try to shoot some this week when the weather clears up.

Any idea how the v15 would compare to the v11? Easy to tune?

if all the V15 has over the V11 is the addition of that extra slug then the performance would be indiscernible between the two...On a crank that heavy one tiny slug is not going to make any performance difference we will be able to see or feel.

Gotcha, thank you. Would you recommend a 2013 or 2045 with these engines? I will be using the manifold off my 2013

I would love to try one of your engines, but the baby is chewing up most of my nitro funds, unless........... There's a clockworks Black Friday sale

I would atleast see a boost over my n.21r

I've never run a 2013 - but I want one.. I bet it would be great on the Blast.. As would the 2045 probably. I don't think RB would sell all their combos with the 2045 if it sucked.. And yeah, the 2058 is supposed to be great on almost everything.. (very good on my Fire..)
