Status: offline 		Get this. I ran a rb c5bb last year, about 1 gallon through it and the blasted thing wouldnt idel or run worth a crap. I got so mad at it I bought a ninja and the rb has been sitting on my ork bench in pieces for over a year now.
Some odd reason, I figured I would piece it back together and see what happens. I used air tool oil on the parts as I was putting it together. The only thing I replace on the engine was the small metal O rings between the carb nipple and a new glow plug.
I took it out and it fired right up. A little bit of tuning and it ran fine, like a new engine. This was without load (no tires) sitting on a starter box. I just figured it wouldnt start and I could then toss it out. I was very suprised. Chargen the starter box now so I can try it with a load and run it aroung for a while and see what happens.
Very stoked about this. This rb was broarder line insane. Just to think, I almost turned it into a 350 dollar ash tray.

Status: offline 		Would have been a waste to throw it away, after 1 gallon and it doesnt run right would have been a reason to check it out. Hope it runs well in whatever truck/buggy you put it in.

Status: offline 		Looks just like my truck but better because you have and engine and servos on yours. I need to get mines on the road but now i have a Jammin CRT on the way with .27 Sirio in it. Seems like everytime i start a project i end up getting off coarse into somethig else and then it takes longer to complete.

Status: offline 		well my pipe and other bits arrived today including a crowd pleazer 2 and high downforce wing. The proline body is so much thicker than an st-r body, probably twice as thick, gotta think about a paint scheme for it now. Here's my truck now, just waiting on some fuel to break in the LRP.

Status: offline 		Thats looking good. Wont be long before i can order the engine, pipe, and a few others for the st-r when i get rid of the serpent. I have the RB928 w/ pipe combo in mind but that might change.

Status: offline 		Does anyone know what offset dish wheels fit the ST-R, e.g. OFNA half offsets etc....?

OK, I think I just found my answer....standard (0mm) offset

ORIGINAL: mtbkym01

My chassis just arrived this minute, tooks photos straight away.

For the price, It looks pretty good, 7075 CNC aluminium, all machining, including countersinking looks very neat, very happy at this stage, will have to wait and see how it performs, will keep you posted.

Update on this chassis guys, found this link over in the buggy forum warning about the quality of Dragon Racing parts, looks like i'm gonna learn the hard way, but thought i'd share this with everyone as a warning. It appears that the chassis are not made from 7075 as described. I still haven't run mine so i cant comment yet, time will tell, if it doesn't last, looks like a BCE will be ordered

Status: offline 		Painted up the CP body, man it's tuff to cut out compared to Kyosho bodies, very stong, here's some pics, the Silver was first, followed by the Orange, and now the yellow. I love painting bodies, just costing me too much $$$
