Rody Victosport VSB01 - OS XZ-B based
Rody Roem, who should not need much intro. has released a motor with the help of OS, and given how much he has modded both the buggy and on road versions of the speed motors, this is awesome. All with a twist of course it's not a simple rebadge like Bullitt or Maxima, but new internals.

No DLC coating on the crank. I would be concerned about the crankpin wear.

In the onroad arround me I do see many people with fast worn P/S sets.....

The onroad version is fast, I was told by a friend who also measures the timings that the crankshaft has 3 degree more timing than the normal 2102. But I have seen several with the normal Rody 2101 (Tecnopower head) and the gold head Victor sport not reaching the 5 liter mark.

Hi everybody, long time not been around in this place so let us see if we can get some information out here.
This thread has started with the released VSB01 and already some questions about the non DLC treatment of the specific crankshaft of the VSB01 engine.
2 main reasons for the non DLC treatment.
1) The DLC treatment makes the crankshaft itself a little more flexible(softer). This will make the engine a little less direct on the throttle in the low rpm area.
The quality of the non DLC crankshafts in the OS production are excellent and the big-end holds up very well, of course not as long as the DLC crankshaft but for me enough to pass 2 piston/liner sets.
2) Because the crankshaft of the VSB01 is an unique design in the OS production this has made my price to obtain this crankshaft in my engine quite important. If I would have added the DLC we would be even worse.
As for the VS engines which show the DLC treatment these are mainly the on-road engines on which I have not yet had the possibility to create my own crankshaft.
Hope this info has helped you further...:-)

"DLC Coating stands for diamond-like carbon coating, and is a nanocomposite coating that has unique properties of natural diamond low friction, high hardness, and high corrosion resistance."

How is this even possible,If DLC is a form of harding.This what you are saying is not true and you should just stay with the facts, like you mention of it being a higher price thing.

I believe there are 2 ways to add DLC, as a cold treatment and as a heat treatment.
In case of a heat treatment and a slow cool down you will undo the hardening a bit.

Less direct on the throttle? Thats marketing garbage.
If the only reason is cost, say so. Don't try to sugarcoat it with side-benefits like throttle response due to softness.
#14
Do you feel that same way towards Novarossi? They are not applying DLC to their crankshaft?
And please too be considerate in that Rody's native language is not English, as such the translation and wording as stated should be taken into consideration, and perhaps he meant to say that by less direct on the throttle is perhaps less snap and responsive-ness to iniatial servo input.

maybe it has something to do with weight balance with the dlc coating while the crank is spinning much like an trucks driveshaft when it starts spinning too fast it will start to actually distort from a straight line sort of like a wet noodle.
i cant say what hes saying is 100% factual but at the speed these things spin at strange things happen.
