Who's to say RB isn't developing new products as well? It seems, from what was displayed at Nuremberg and posted on RB Forum, they are developing/releasing "new" 1/8th On-Road power. You have made valid points - RB does seem "low key" in On-Road - but, I think that is by choice - not product ability. I think RB is underrated - let's see what 2006 brings.

Thanks,

Anyone remember the RB C3? How was its power and performance? I was offered it at my LHS for my Top engine and I'm wondering if it will increase or weaken performance. The only way to know though is to run the top on 30% as is and compare in the future I guess. :nod:

Upon inspection - the piston has broken apart near the skirt.

Can I just order the piston since the engine still has tons of pinch? Where to I send the engine to get repaired ?

Is this a common problem?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks in advance,
