I do not know how the Cross10 runs, it is very similar to the Shark9 but the Shark has a ballanced crank and the Cross10 does not. With that said I race a Shark9 in my car and it's awesome, there are several others here locally that have the Shark and it seems to run good for all of us so I bet the Cross10 is similar. After tearing apart the Rally10 engine I am thinking that thing might be a screamer, hopefully I will get to test it a little this weekend.

As for JR I have no idea what happened to him but I did talk to Kevin yesterday so I will ask him next time I talk to him what JR is up to.

Are you talking about Big Kevin?? Guy looks like a linebacker??

or was the that shorter guy in the store who was always on the phone?

Also, Where do you race??

Kevin woulda been the shorter guy always on the phone. I live in Colorado so we have four 1/8 tracks within about a 3 hour drive. How about you?

Hi. I know him.

He used to ride a scooter to the shop. I almost ran him over one time.

Ask him if he remembers a guy that use to come to the shop when they were

next to ace hardware, that rode a Honda XR motorcycle.

Soooo..

What does it take to be a team driver for RB??

Who else are you sponsored by and at what level of sponsorship??

What is expected of you by the vendors?

Thanks

The cross 10 is the shark 9 and vice versa. One hell of a motor for buggy.

They are actually a little different. The Shark came with a balanced crank shaft, the Cross10 just comes with a standard crank. All in all they should perform very similar as everything else between the two engines are shared.

Guys wear can i get the RB Front Bearing Cover in seen in RC Magazine a couple of months ago?

Hey man,

I just talked to the guys at RB the site here will have that engine protect up on it in the next 15 minutes.

Great. Let me know how it runs. Ws9 was great in the buggy...smooth low end and great on top end.

ok heres my question do, any of you guys run the hobby 9 (s5 ) engine in a truggy ? well ive already tried to change my clutch bell to a lower tooth and im using meduim alum clutch, shoes with a green/gold spring setup do

you guys think that using, a all gold spring alum shoe setup whould work better ? and whould the gold setup wear the meduim shoes out too quick ?


i just want it to where, the engine will (spool up faster) so i can hit a big jump better.

im running a eight-t 1.0 by the way.

anybody know ?

Chris i have picked up a couple of engine protectors and ran them on all my rb motors the C6,shark and ws72. They all fit perfect with the Losi clucth. I know we wanted to know when they frist came out. They GREAT works so good helps keep all that dirt, mud and alot of it off the bearing helping the motor last longer because its not geting any dirt in it. Just my 2 cents bud if you run Rb and Novarossi engines and have $17 to spare for your engine Get one. Thanks speedyrob

I have never tried to run this engine in a truggy as I feel it would be under powered in a truggy. I do run a Losi truggy so the main thing I can suggest is you run 13/50 gearing. Also a lot depends on the pipe and header you are using. With an S5 in truck your going to need a long header and possibly the 2020 pipe to get that extra grunt you are looking for. Also I know in my 8ight 2.0 truggy I run all aluminum shoes with all gold springs when I need the extra snap, you can try to silver and two golds too, or even all 4 silver.. the shoes will wear faster with all silver but it will really spool up before engaging.

Awesome!!! thanks man, I have not tried one on my Losi because the whole clutch fits on soo exact I figured it would throw off the shimming. Looks like I will be giving one a try soon.
