Hi guys and gals, I have a question I skimmed the thread. I have used OS,Nova, Picco, LRP, etc. I was contacted to carry RB products and engines. So im thinking about adding RB to my product line. Whats the consensus? Well liked good products-motors? I like to support what I sell, so I would try them myself to.

Thanks Pete

Very impressed with everything they make!

I honestly can't give you too much first-hand experience, other than with my two Fire 11's - which are definitely at the top of my list of all-time favorite engines. But here in Europe RB is without doubt among the most popular brands - viewed universally basically as about as good as you can get. I also have a couple Blasts which I haven't had the chance to run yet. I am an unashamed cheapskate though, so I usually buy the lower price engines in a given range(RB Blast, Novarossi P5XLT, etc..), so probably wouldn't pay for the top-dollar BX-R etc.. Though IF I were to buy a top-dollar engine, the higher-end RB's would definitely be on the list.. I'd probably buy an FX right now to be honest - but RB is a brand I feel like you can spend money on and it's worth it..

Anyway, I think it's safe to say that in Europe RB is without doubt one of the premier brands.

Thanks for the input:)

I am currently looking into getting a RB BXR super long stroke engine for regional races. It seems to be the highest-end engine RB offers that would work well in a nitro buggy.

Does anyone have any experience on this engine? How does this RB engine compare to it's Novarossi counterpart?

Thanks!

Anybody with new experience with the Blasts or Rally?....

I have the blast V15 and the engine is great. Of course they already up to V20 now though. The blast series are very good engines. I have roughly 2 gallons on my V15 currently and no problems at all.

In buggy or truggy? If buggy, does it have the nuts for truggy?...

Are any of these engines C6 USA based?

I think most of them are C6 based or S7 based. I don't think RB has designed any new sleeve porting since Rody sold out. At least for offroad.

I need some old school knowledge dropped on me here... I have a rb s7worlds that I really like running. My question is about the pipe that I have with it . Its virtually unreadable but seems to have a a-063 mark on it . I have seen that this #corresponds with a pipe from about 09 . What would be the modern equivilent ? This seems to be more of a rpm pipe , does that seem right ? How would it compare to a jp-3 ( which seems to be a pos , but I have one to try ) ?

I have the V15 in Truggy. It is a Clocked engine so it has the nuts in truggy. I would think it would have the nuts stock as well.

So my first V19 had some issues that were out of my control. AMain replaced it. Started break-in last night on new one last night(after it sat in box for 2 months). So far so good. Going a lot smoother than first one.

I had a V11 in my truck but it was modded. Moved out plenty well. Just made a deal on a new V15 from a friend that will prolly get cut and end up in my truck. I think even stock they will pull a truck around just fine for racing.

Hope these end up as good as my V11s were. Last year they were the most reliable thing I had going... Start them up, run till I shut them off. Never touched the needles, never flamed, good run time.... So far this year nothing but problems from engines. Hoping getting back to RB is what I need. Might make a fuel switch, too.

I ran that cut V11 with a 2013, too... ripped. No problem with 10 min stops in truck.

all in...

V15 has a different head than the 11 and 19. And no rhyme or reason for the 15 in buggy and 19 in truck. Just breaking them in...
