I don't know about short life but, I do know it is dam fast, holds a tune and starts every time! Fantom .27!

I have seen the RB .28 run in person and it has plenty of power, starts and holds an idle good. Would I pay $300-$350 for one NO! I could buy a new Fantom and rebuild it 2 times for that and the Fantom has a faster top end.

LOL The RB will easy pull in 9-10 gallons before needing a rebuild. So thats like 9 rebuilds of a Fantom [:'(]

I am not on 6-8 gallons yet but, I am working on 3 and it is not showing any signs of slowing down yet. I am not knocking the RB but, if you can get a faster engine for less then why not. I will let you know when this Fantom dies. If it last for 3 more gallons then I got more then my monies worth! As I said in another thread where are you seeing all of these post saying the Fantom has a short lifespan? Unless you have 4-6 different forum members with the same problem then I don't see your point.

Speed and Useable track power are 2 different things.

I could care less about more top end...the RB .28 has too much low and mid power for my driving.

A Fantom in the same vehicle might pull 2-3 more mph, but you better believe the down low power is going to win a race out of a corner, not top end. It's the low end power that allows you to mash the throttle and fly over jumps far enough, not top end.

I was joking about rebuilds after 1 gallon...got you guys all riled up though.

I just wanted to make sure you were using the nitro to feed your engines and not in shot glasses, thats all

And to explain what i meant by short life, Fantoms are blessed if they get 6-8 gallons, people abuse the heck out of them. I also meant that compared to other race bred engines, fantoms are a little shorter than the rest but u do get your moneys worth.
