This is normal, I don't believe you will find two fuels that run the same. For example whenever I sell a customer Byron Gen 2 ( switching over from another brand of fuel) I let them know not to be scared when you start your engine it may be on the rich side. I even help them with the transition if they want me to.

He is a new video on Neobuggy on tuning your NR engine that you can apply to your RB engine.

Nice video, thanks for the link.

You're welcome!

I agree it is a nice video, its alot easier to see a video that explains the process and allows you to see and hear how it is done. Then to explain it in writing.

I think that the K9 is the clone. RB ran across a bad
arsed little Force engine and put there golden hat on it.
Saved them some bucks on the R&D work, huh? I can't
wait to see the King Headz edition.

lol you guys ever sleep...they might be made next to the Losi plant in Taiwan

I am going to say again the RB K9 engine is awesome! I have not had one problem with this engine, starts and stays tuned everytime I start it. It is a true performer for a low cost. I would love try one modified, but as fast and smooth as it already is I think I will leave it alone.

No problem gixxerman, this video is a great tool in teaching someone to tune their engine.

Aaron, what pipe/header combination are you using on your Killer 9?

jk1152 11-22-2009 09:09 AM

Ever since entering 1/8 offroad I've been used RB motors.

Out of service: 1st WS7 RBMods lasted 3.5 gallons before loosing compression.
Club Races: S5 that has 4.5 gallons, running strong, great idle, great compression.
Larger Races: S7 that has 2.5 gallons, running strong, great idle, great compression.

On the two I run for club races / larger races. I have not done any maintenance on them its all orginal bearings & conrod. They idle like a champ, I've never flamed out in any race. Right or wrong I use the turbohead with a p3. I use 2045 with a 7mm carb restrictor always making the 7:30 pit window (8+ till dry). The tempatures are always reasonable 215 - 230's. I never adjust the botton end on these, only the top end sometimes. I love how all the parts for the S series fit each other, so even if I need to replace something I can always swap for a working engine. Have definately loved the RB engines. I've had two 2045 stingers bend / crack, I'd recommened JB Weld around the stinger to strengthen it.


I just got an awesome deal on a WS7 on ebay and will be breaking this in soon now.
