I was a RB fan until the B9 had cases that cracked. I have switched to Orion CRF Alpha's now, but I am intigued by these. Especially w Rody being involves.
Tony, can you really give us a low dow on these motors. Is the quality in your mind.....Top Notch? The best? Average? Is the power good usable power? Is it crazy?
I would like to here a real honest review of this motor.

RC Car did a 1st look in the sept issue and a 3 page 2+ gallon review in october. Engines will be getting out next week so maybe some of the racers will post their results.
If Rody's track history doesnt fully explain the quality, I can only offer that Im sure they will be as good as any engine as far as longevity. Of course the largest variable in performance and life is the guy in charge of the screwdriver, But I have no doubt they will be top notch, and to be honest I wouldnt bother with bringing anything to the USA if I didnt think it would be good.

First Engines Have Arrived!!!!!!!!!!
Dealers will have them next week
I've got to say the engines look marvelous, well sealed, and a nice greay case. Light grey head thats lightweight and has a few tricks for better airflow (I'll explain more of this in a few days)
The pipes are thick s they should be very durable. First test is this weekend up in Lewiston Idaho, If I cant break it noone can

Hey Tony, just a quick suggestion to avoid a potential problem. The first piece of tubing going from the pipe to the cooler is pretty short and making a pretty tight bend. Now it's fine the way it is right now but I have seen set-ups like that where the tubing gets shifted just a bit in the clip and causes a kink in the line.
Believe it or not, I have seen this kink cause MASSIVE tuning issues to where the thing wont run at all. I like to make the line long enough that no matter how you tug and tweak on it within the clips, it wont kink and cause problems.
The Mugen grey tubing is especially easy to kink in this way. It's great stuff, just be careful with it.

I see what your saying. I've been running it like that for just over 2 gallons without any issue so far. If anything I might make it a tad longer. The cooler is mounted pretty good, it hasnt moved yet either. I like to keep my lines as neat and short as possible to keep them secure. Its another brand of fuel line, I dont like the mugen stuff. Alittle soft for me
Token, we'll be out to your neck of the woods on the 18th for the pro series
