A question for RB techs though. I have a friend that has a Xenon R and his conrod broke because the rear bearing let go. Fortunately it was only at idle when it stopped running. We took it apart and the block is fine as well as the sleeve, piston and crankshaft. It just needs a rear bearing and a conrod. I think that a ceramic bearing is the absolute way to go as with his motor going out like that has made me pull mine out and send it to Rick Brake of RBmods.net to port it more and install ceramic bearings. I also plan to purchase a new Alpha Xenon to compare it to my Kangaroo .21 as well. Thanks for a great engine.
idk if the ceramic bearing is the way to go i have a murnan xenon r without the ceramic and have had no problems with it and it is just as fast as the onres with the caramic bearing
