We change conrod after 5L of gas if you are very competitive but the RB conrod can do 10L of gas. As for the bearings, change it after 10L of gas :)
Hope this helps :)

RB doesn't have long turbo glow plugs like novarossi, they only come in one size

i thot there was cold and hot plugs like c hot and f cold for novas all other motor comp just have one line and they look like f plugs and os is just diff.

New engine from RB!!! Speedline 12 Matrix R :sneaky:

Oh heck yeah!!! I wonder if it will be cheaper than the Rody V12. If it is and is reliable it sure as hell will be mine! :nod:

Is that a “standard” engine from the factory or has it gone through some modifications in someone’s hands..?

is it on the website yet. :)

Just saw the pics in www.rcinfos.com. I'm sure there will be 2 versions of this engine a Matrix and a Matrix R like their Xenon engine. They will be running 2 prototype engines in the Euro championship race.
Looks like a sirio engine and pipe:)

Much cheaper than a V.12 Rody :nod: :nod:

How much cheaper?
How does it compare to your v12?
And all the other engines in the market?

Cheaper than a V12 Rody? Sweet! Too bad other plans came up...oh well. :(

Not sure yet. I wont have one until we get to QLD for the worlds. From what I am told it should be around the same price as a standard V.12

We will have 4 RB Matrix prototypes arriving next week. Will keep you guys posted.... This is a cheap engine:)

From what I've seen of those engines (very very few and low quality photos) are basically Sirios with some personal touches from 'chez' RB. A teardown and some photos of it could be great (this and if you feel comfortable timing it, please post the data too).

Hi Corse-R!
Will get the engines on Wednesday, only 30 made:) They used a few in the Euros and they sold 20 engines to the fastest to reply distributor:). Will post pictures of the engine. It is a beefed up Sirio engine - according to RB they will change the crank case to make it fit to all cars:)
