Rally, I have the l2g head already, Thanks

JPMS, This s3 l2g is the first RB motor i have owned, so i have no history with RB. I was just curious. I run an 8 with the Losi body. What temp does your or anybodies RB (perferably a s3) run. I believe mine was running 220-240ish. I have not run since last fall.

Well I have never ran a 3, but my Jammin with a Jammin Body and my racing buddy's Losi's 8B and 8T with JConcept bodies, all have C6 engines and run around 200 unless the humidity is really high and then they run about 220.
Rule of thumb is how it sounds, runs, and a steady stream of smoke out the pipe, we always tune it that first and then temp and make sure its not running to hot. The problem with temping engines is you can use 12 different temp guns on the same engine and get 30degs of different readings. So I guess what I am trying to say is dont tune to temp, tune to performance and steady smoke, and check your tune with a temp gun.

I agree with that 100%. I planned to do that this spring. I was running a 086 dynamite pipe so i'm wondering if that is why it seemed to be hotter. I have a RB 2045 with 98mm header. Im hoping this combination will be the right combo.

Hello JPMSRacing,
I work at my local hobbyshop and I placed a order for a C6 USA for a customer last week 3/19/09 with the fellow distributing RB's in the US. He said it was in stock. We recently became a authorized dealer with him. I will get back to you on this thread if and when we get it and a price of what they are going for.

I guess I should have thrown that in too. All our C6 have JP3 pipes on them. My buddy has a 2045, have to ask him again, but if I remember right he bought it at TX at RC Pro finals because it had more top end and less bottom than the JP3, but most of the tracks around here are tight tracks with lots of turns and jumps.

Cool let us know.

can u get B9's yet ?

Hey Guys,
I havent been known to run alot of RB engines, but I got one last year and messed it up, so I decided to rebuild it to have a practice motor and I have to tell you I ran the new losi re11 pipe on the ws7 and holy chit thats a good combo, I think I ran an 086 and a jp-3 on it before and the re11 is a TON better. after break in still running fat went 10:45 in an mp-9.
anyway just food for thought
MO

I asked about them also, he said a couple more weeks.

cool ....keep us updated.....new 3001pipe?

Thinking about buyin the RB 5 motor with the 045 pipe,,,,,,,,,,would like some imput on the motor,thanks

We got in the C6 USA in yesterday 3/27/09 that we ordered last week. We sold it for the same price as Towerhobbies. My friend bought it so I can't wait to help him break it in and see how it rips. I got to hold the engine in my hands.:lol:

justag3
I would say go for it the S5 is a great engine with the perfect balance of bottom and top end. Im going to get one of them or I may hold out for one of the 09 models.

I put a post up in the classifieds here for my brand new c6 USA Edition head...

I have looked everywhere!!!! Where did you get the c6 us spec?

Has anyone ran RB's new line of engines? The B9, WS9, S9, H9, or J9? How do they preform to thier old line of engines? When will they be available, adn will they be cheaper or more expensive than their old line?

Straight from RB in Texas. So they should be showing up at shops any day now;)

Rick, WS9 for your new ride:nod:

I followed your experience and bought a RE11 pipe last weekend and tried it on my 1.5 gallon old ws7 and holy chit is right.:eek: I really did not like the ws7 with the RB 2045, ran too hot ;soft on the bottom and struggled with mileage (getting 8min) with the Re11 motor ran a little cooler, power came on earlier without losing top end and my mileage went over 11min w/7mm restricter.

It turned this motor from a dog to something amazing. tuning seemed a little more delicate but dont know if the weather was the culprit. more time will tell.:D

If anyone else has this motor/pipe combo laying around try and report your experience please.

RE11 I have been told is like the old 2050 OS pipe, I have a brand new 2050 I will have to try on the 7 in my boy's car. Any other suggestions on the C6.

I have has really good luk with the 2045, I ma interested if anyone has tried the 2045 and found a better pipe.

Is the new line of RB engines coming out soon, are they going to still sell the C6 as is?? or is it renamed (ie. B9)?

B9=C6 part for part

When will the new line be available?

does anyone have the part # for the screw that holds the carb on a ws7III? i left a message yesterday with RB but have not called back yet.

randy

Hello Randy,
Here is a option that you can replace all the flat head screws with hex screws. I have these screws on one of my RB's and like it alot more then the flat heads. Less likely to strip.

thanks for the tip. does that screw set replace all screws on the RB

randy

Bought a WS7 combo with the 045 pipe,,,,,,,,I'm not to sure this pipe and manifold is gonna fit into my MBX6,,,, any suggestions??? Anyone want to buy it,,, or is there another manifold maybe??

ws7 and 2045 combo fit in my mbx6 ok but very tight. i do love the way the ws7 performs:nod:

rr

Hey Randy it's Larry Dean, that kit replaces the head screws, backplate screws and the carb pinch bolt screw.

Wow,, very tight fit indeed,, I personally don't like it's fit,, what manifold are you using????

Ok well need an engine for my new MBX6

Between RB Concept C6BB L2G Turbo and the RB CONCEPT WS7III L2G .21

Not sure which one to go for i am a smooth racer who likes achiveing long consistant runtimes.

So which engine you guys reccomend? and what pipe to match it and to fit it the MBX6 which from above i can see has pipe fitting problems.
Thanks
Adam

Go for C6 and 2045/92mm. You will have better runtime with it if you are not spinning your tires all the way which is easy with this combo :nod:

Still waiting on that question also Gergely????? It is indeed a very tight fit,,, do I need a different header??? Very nice pipe but it is a very tight fit in my MBX6!!!!!

I don't know but I guess it should fit somehow if Savoya can run this car/engine/pipe/mainfold combo. Try to look after some pictures on Neobuggy.

Hey guys i have a RB C6 w/L2G head. I'm wondering what the the stock head shims are??

The manual is a little confusing, i says .2mm (1) and .1mm (2) . If the number inside of these () is a quanity that would add up to .4mm. It also says a total of .3mm. So the 2 figures dont add up.

So is stock shimmed at .3mm or .4mm??

im new to rb engines what temps does a rb c5 like min and max

any one running c6 on truggy

any one get the new c6 usa spec and or the 9 sereis/? when are the comming out?

I've had the USA for a few weeks now.

Ok well didnt get the ws73 or the c6 i got the
RBWS9 L2G TURBO :)

Not as sure what exhaust as it will go in my new mugen dont no what fits :(
