Any recommendations on plugs (other brands besides RB plugs) that can be used in a RB Speed.12 and also a RB Matrix Speedline .12?

Cheers

Been running RB since the 90's Loved rody roem's support, would get emails back and foward support was awesome, but once he left the company hasn't been the same.

Such sad news, was a great product, moving into Buggys etc may of
hurt them in the long run?

yeah as said before.. they spread to thin.. grew the product range too quickly.. if they manage to... re boot the brand.. then focus on engines some small stuff that is most needed.. do some test runs of some product to see how people take it.. so in the long run they wont go spending all they have on hopes and dreams..

curious to know for future ref if when running in RB is there anything i should keep in mind.. as im still breaking it in.. 97 - 100c temp like most engines which is what i am getting.. keeping it rich , idle is working well esp in a windy environment, other wise it would be in the 110 - 115c range.. clutch set to a none aggressive set up..

Temp is the last thing to look at when the tunning is right. But yes it can be between 100 up to 130 degrees depending the fuel, insert and exhaust.

yeah true true... the engine was spitting well.. with oil n all.. and with what im using i have afterrun fuel.. which pretty much lines the engine with oil to burn out any excess nitro after a day of tweaking and break in.. still needs some tweaks on the LSN but think its mostly due to its tightness.. wait till the balls drop :P hehe

still nice and tight but will have alu foil at hand next run.. ie tomorrow.. so will have it heated up past 100c , 115 - 120.. free up that liner n piston for some good bedding to happen..
