Everything is interchangeable but putting a B9/B10 crank in it will really change the powerband of the engine. If you have the USA engine already and the crank is in good shape drop a new piston sleeve and rod set in there and be set!! |
how much difference is there between the 1164-14B and the 1164-14B/R crankshaft
I can see that is missing the counter weight and coating, but are the intake and turbo cuts the same? http://www.mst-modellbau.de/motoren-...prod_2644.html |

Also the middle of the crank that funnels the fuel to the turbo cuts is opened up more, the turbo cuts are also cut in deeper on the face of the crank. The timing of this crank makes the engine seem pretty violent but I love it in a truggy!!! It looks like the site your looking at might be showing the wrong pic with the part number. Look at the last two on this page. http://www.rbproducts.com/mainEn.php...x=0&image2.y=0 |
C6 is a beast!
I just bought a slightly used C6 from a buddy for my XT8. The motor has less than a gallon on it, and it is a beast. The problem I have is that I keep burning up clutch bearings. I am running the Xray alum 3 shoe setup, and I feel that I have more than enough play on the clutch bell. I can't make it thru a race day without changing clutch bearings. Anybody have any good ideas??

so my question is. seeing you cant but these rody cranks anymore. would you buy this crank and open the turbo cuts and throat up more?

Well the only thing on the engine that would cause clutch bearing issues would be the crankshaft being worn out where the clutch bearings ride. When you pull the clutch bearings off feel the end of the crankshaft, it should be nice and smooth. If there is only a gallon on the engine this really should not be the case tho. If you have a clutch that really slips a lot and gets really hot that will kill bearings. If your gear mesh is too tight that can also kill bearings with all the chassis flex. |

I think that would be the best option if you have access to equipment to do it, or if you have a modder that does a lot of crank work like that. It's not a drastic mod it's just opened up quite bit.
