I have had no major accidents on the track. I’m very particular on doing my maintenance on all my cars after every race meeting.
In my collection I have a RB C6BB & RB C6BT and I have never had a problem with these engines. I do relies that they are different in size and build.
But I would not think that the RB Speedline Matrix 12 would have a problem.
If anybody could help on this that would be great. Or should I be doing something special to this motor?
I’m about to buy another RB 12 but just would like to know why this is happening.
At our club there is a few guy’s that have had the same problem with the Matrix 12 cooling fins.
Thank you very much for your help & knowledge
Favo,
We have not had any issues with the Matrix cooling head here in the States. There have been some instances with its bigger brother(Xenon) having fins break. Although we have discontinued distributing that particular engine you can readily find parts. I see you have Australia in your avatar, I would contact your countries national distributor for some help.
If you are looking for a new .12 mill I would not hesitate and purchase a R3. That is our flagship .12 and will not dissapoint. Reliable, great power, and excellent fuel milaege.
