i am pretty sure that they are made by the taiwan company that makes the alpha engines , not to be confused with quality italian made orion alpha engines

i believe there is still some stock of rb engines that were made by novarossi while there are some taiwan made rb products out there now also

KIller 9/10 is made by Force engines...The B9 and S9 are still made by Nova, as well as most of the lineup.... The Speedline Onroads are made by Star....

By RB keeping the taiwanese heritage of the K9/10 engines under the table they have discredited their traditional Nova made lineup to the consumer, as nobody knows where the engines are made now and assume they are all Taiwanese...IMO RB should list the Italian made engines as Italian made engines, and the Taiwanese as Taiwanese made..... The consumers know what they are buying anyways, so there is no point in hiding the facts...

i really dont know 100% for sure which engines are made by whom for RB , to me it would be easily distinguishable by seeing the engines to say whether or not they were made by novarossi or not .


if somebody who knows for sure what engines are made where for RB then please feel free to chime in

so RB farmed out engine production to other manufacturing plants in taiwan and also was somehow able to keep novarossi producing some of their engine line up ? interesting
