correct the killer9 in not a "true" RB engine, I think this was gone over already?

:confused: He made a terrible mistake. Its a beast!!!

i looove my killer so far running it in a truggy, tonnes of power

i understand its not italian although rb making(and iv heard how the decision came about)the decision to release a taiwanese engine must be the result of some long discussion. it looks good and i have heard nothing bad with them other than the fact they are produced in taiwan.

The K9 is not made in Taiwan, it is made in Japan, it's the first new engine that RB has been made specifically for them, RB's design, and specific's.

Were do you get you info from an Xray driver :lol::lol::lol:
BTW the engine is from Japan as stated

I thought you were working today! Oh yea, I forgot, your watching paint dry! lol

The K9 is Taiwan made.....

How can you verify that?

I am privy to some inside information, however unfortunately I really can't disclose any of it.......The K9 is still turning out to be a great engine, even tho it is made in Taiwan...

After speaking directly with RB, why would they tell me that it's made in Japan? You may check your inside source, it would be stupid for RB to make that statement if it was not correct, surely not the best business practice.

How many head shims for the C6 USA edition? I bought one used and had it pinched. Not sure if one got lost in the shuffle as mine only has 2, a thicker alum shim and a thinner copper shim. It has the head button with the cutout on the exhaust side. Talk to me Aaron!

Sounds like whoever you got the engine from changed the shims along with the crankcase timing. LOL

I'm not positive but I think it would be like any other RB C6. Two shims both the same color. One .1 and one .2, shimmed for %25 nitro.

Hey Aaaaron or anyone! Does anyone have experience with the Shark9. After blowing up my Trinity Extech (I can't complain about it since it gave me over a year of running), I just ordered one. How are they??

I'm not posting this to slap you in the face. Just to clarify the origin of manufacture once and for all.

In larger print around the box, it reads "Designed In France". Typical. In the smallest print on the box, and only in one location, it reads: "Made In Taiwan". Typical. (I'm rather jaded about "Designed in ______" BS, lol)

I took a pic of the box mine came in:
