OK so I just got my Junior9 in and I'm about to put my old S3 Piston/Sleeve and conrod into it(which have about 4 gallons on them)

I also need to remove the crank shaft but I'm having trouble getting it out, what would be the best way to get it out so that I don't damage anything with the engine?

...

If you have the piston, sleeve & rod out, just wack the front end of the crank on a peice of wood & it will come out.

Not sure what happened to RB USA but I'm thinking of changing my name. Seems to be alot of changes for the worse since Rody left.

Na, keep the name, there still really good motors, just no support!


A little update: in all my fury I called A-Main Hobbies to see if they could point me in the right direction. They have called be back twice so far to let me know that over this week they had put in numerous calls and e-mails to Brian Howard and were not able to get a reponse. So let this be a lesson, if A-Main Hobbies can't get a response we won't either. THANK YOU A-MAIN HOBBIES!!!!!



I really hope their not paying this guy?!?!?!?

I don't know if trying to get in touch with the RB factory
overseas some how would help us in the states any.
I would think that they would be concerned if they knew
that the person in charge of the RB USA branch was screwing
things up here so bad. I guess the task is just too much for him
to handle and should be turned over to someone who can.
Do any of you guys speak French, we need someone to make
an overseas call.

You know, I did call the French office, they answered in French...........and I hung up!!!! LMAO!!!! Any French majors among us???????

I also e-mailed them the link to this thread.

I just spoke to Brian, he said he has been down with the Flu. He really is a great guy to deal with, he said any questions shoot him a email at
www.rb-usa.com and he will get back to you. He also said he is expecting the "Killer 9" next week.

What is the killer 9?

I think RB has gone crazy with engine names!!!

speaking of names let me see if I got this correct:

S3 = Junior 9
S5 = Hobby 9
S7 = Buggy S9

C6 = Buggy 9 (B9)
WS7 = WS9

So the killer 9 is a new production engine?

Looks like a case I've never seen before, question is, is it the same 5+2 sleeve the B9 (aka c5) has.

No more L2G head? Motor looks very interesting!

It does look pretty sick! I backordered two today when I spoke to him on the phone. I will let you guys know when I get my hands on one.

Anybody else try a exhaust cooler? I have been running one for a month now. Not sure how much if any more runtime I got but it sure looks trick. I found a perfect mounting spot in my 8ight T 2.0 behind the front shock tower. I used the hole in the top brace that is normally used for the buggy front body post using the mounting hardware included with the cooler. I will post some pics after I give my truck a bath.

hey guys, maybe someone can help me out?

i bought a ws7II and am going to be putting it in a kyosho strr.

does anyone know what would be a good pipe and header combo?

I need good runtime and prefer smooth power instead of wheelspin.

I race 2wd buggy and this will be my first 1/8 scale.

Thanks, Joe

If smooth bottom end is what you are looking for try RB's 2045 pipe with 192mm header. If you want more torque pick up a 198mm header. My buddy has the new "WS9" with 2045/198, the low end power is amazing with that pipe combo.
