LOL..

Its funny no one really knows whats going on with RB.

And how has RB gone to shit. Look at any forum or news about RC on the East side of the world. They are all over the place and consistantly winning events.

Anyone (reseller wise) that has dealt with RB in the past know the original US dealers (based in NY) completely jacked the rep of RB in the US, and pissed the France HQ off at the same time.

The new importer is an actual close friend of the Owner/CEO of RB and is working very hard to bring the REP of RB back in good standing with the US base of customers.

He is only one man, and yes he is based in Colleyville, TX and I have heard no rumor of him working part time at a hobby shop in Dallas.

With all this just really becoming new in the past year for RB to come back to Texas (US) not many people know about it, and I'm sure the ones who do have started Dealer accounts with them like they need to.

Just imagine at least 1 LHS in each state wanting to setup a dealer account with RB. Thats 50 LHS that 1 man has to verify that they are legit get them signed up and get them catalogs for ordering. IE they request Pics of your shop and Weblinks to verify your not some garbage ass LHS that will give them a bad name.

After that how many engines do you think each shop tries to order. At least 2 or 3 that can be anywhere from 100 to 300 engines total. I highly doubt RB has that many just laying around for a US market that hasn't been anywhere as big as the Euro market.

OOO and calling the number to talk directly to the new REP. Read the site they state we don't deal directly with end users, but you are more then welcome to inquire about becoming an RB Dealer through them.

And if you have that big an issue make a call to the HQ in France. They list there number too, and I highly doubt you won't find someone there that can help and can actually speak english its pretty common now you know.

Quit flaming a good company if you have no insight to what has happened to them in the past in the US, or just STFU and don't buy the engine its a simple as that, or E-Bay that bitch and be done with it.

You don't get into RC to about your money you spent if you think you got a bad product.. You learn your leason and move on.

Besides RB's are some of the hardest engines to tune.. Why buy one knowing that unless you have an expert tuner on hand to help, or know tuning inside and out yourself.
