no biggie with all the eye candy sometimes that happins

Does anybody know if the C5 Rody is already shimmed for 30% nitro? I heard from one person that it is but the rbproducts FAQ says their 21's are shimmed for up to 25% nitro.

Thanks,
Kel

yes its ready right out the box

The C3 is a weapon, I still have a C3 Rody Worlds engine. It is still a good engine, it now does service in a 1/8 buggy.

Does anyone know how's the performance of the TM 728 for the monster truck

Thanks for the help Captian.

no problem you should love in with 30% its got lots of power just untap it

Does anyone knows where to buy 1700-425 engine on the web?

Rody has always stated that the RB's are shimed for 25% from the factory. Some run them this way with 30% and have no ill effects. Most add the shim!

Thankyou guys for the info. Very helpful.

I have a relatively new C5 Rody Modified Engine and while running in a 40 minute race this past weekend the engine decided to suht down and run REAL bad. Engine temps were kept in the 200 - 210 degree range.

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!

Contact the Hobby Shop you purchased it from - they should be able to do the repair. If they aren't helpful - contact Kevin @ Ace (650-632-4057), he'll fix you right up. I would get a piston and sleeve set - kinda risky just getting a piston. This isn't a common problem - sucks that it happened.

make shore you take your time and brake it in again when you fix it
