Re: R3 High & Low Setting
Originally posted by YR4Dude Hi,............................................... .............. One last thing, at the start of this thread you show a prototype motor with an alum. carb. The motor I received had a composite carb which is okay because STS motors usually come with composite carb. Was this done as a cost cutting measure? Did you originally specified an alum. carb for any performance advantages? If I were to swap the alum. carb from a Novarossi or MT12 would I get any advantages or would I mess up the motors performance? Please advise. Thanks.:) AFM |
Motorman you have PM:D

Hey Dennis,
Long time no see, looks like the car business is really taking off for you.. ya still doing any boating?? How's Blain doing?? Jeff Keeton |
BBntc3: best wishes
JAG: were getting good feedback on the motor. weve had a few teething pains and a couple warranty claims but generally all is good. Hope you like it. YR4DUDE: The picture on the proto is of the long rod engine, even if it eventually comes it will have a composite alumunium steel plastic carb. we have had no issues. JAG: we set them plenty rich for safty reasons. we figure if your buying a competition motor you should have no issues tuning it in. For people who are not that type I would recommend an OS :) RB: I will get to all the PM's tomorrow. JKEETON: Long time no talk. where you at and what you doing. I been in this car thing a while now and its busy. SWEN: Its not that I dont want to do that crank but I'm no longer working Novarossi anything for obvious reasons. Its also a time thing. Being the Team Manager for RD Logics keeps me buried. Contact Uriah Murnan (aka Grinder) I am sure he can set you up with a crank rework for that engine that will be very close to what I would do. Sorry Its been so long guys. I have been checking in from time to time. However it seems a little dead at the moment. |

Now where have I been since christmas. well I was out of town a couple weeks and I have been in the shop finishing this. I've been dragging my feet two years on this deal. I guess Brian at RCX gave me the motivation to finish it after seeing theirs. Ironically I had my design done a couple years ago and it was astonishingly close to theirs but after seeing theirs I made a few changes as he had come up with a simpler setup using more premade stuff than I had intended to use.
Time to get down to business Richey Racing Dyno |

Thanks for the reply Dennis, I completely understand your position. I did find someone to do the crank for me.
The question I have for you is when will the R3's be available with threaded cranks? Jon |

Hello Dennis,
I have just received a couple of your motors and I am wondering how they will go in a Stadium Truck. I have worked out a way to put an SG crank motor into a MST . The biggest issue is fuel economy rather than power, we have to make 10 minutes. We are going to try it out next week and I will let you know how it goes. Regards Brad. |
Motorman:
I am hoping you have just been really busy an not had time to get to my PM. I am looking forward to getting a response from you soon. Thanks, RR |
