Maybe Ashford? They use to carry alot of RB stuff.

The C10's I am running now I break in for 2 gallons , then change the rod and race them for three gallons before they need a P/S.

Basically the Rb 2604 '2009', Nova 2660 or the 2662 from Capricorn.

The 2604 I would describe as an allround pipe, it gives a good amount of mid end power and makes for a nice linear engine. Also easy to tune and easy on the fuel milage.
The 2660 gives the engine more top end power, and uses a bit more fuel.
The 2662 gives the engine heaps of mid and top end power but uses quite a lot of fuel and made it a bit harder to tune, but the most overall power.

You might have better luck finding the C6 set. I got mine from Ashford hobbies.

I just got my hands on a used Rody C5 .21 On-Road, it has about 21/2 gals gone threw it. I have place it in my MRX4-R and ran it till it reached 195 degrees but it seems like it dont want to hold at idle or seems the high rev are cutting out. Do anyone knows where or what should the Carb/Needle settings should be at ?

Thanks

p.s this is my first time every running a RB motor.

and how do i remove this sandy spots stains, ? thanks

If you continue to drive you will damage your engine.
This causes pitting on the piston, head and glow plug. If you see pitting it means you are running too lean, you need to richen the mixture slightly.

Also Bro I would to be in the PI's !! some beautiful woman out there.
