Default RE: Mugen MBX5T Engine


ORIGINAL: nitroexpress

Engine designer Rody Roem left RB some time ago and now markets his own engine brand. In order to gain market share, RB markets an engine line made in Taiwan. They still sell european made engines, but the quality may or may not be up to the old standards.

Things to consider. Unless tuning skills are somewhat developed, it's best not to spend big money on a motor. Any motor can be ruined with improper tuning and why learn on an expensive engine. Also to consider, there are few if any .28 engines that will run 10 minutes.

The Werks B5/B6 line of engines are a european made line of engines which perform well at a reasonable price. They have good support on the RCTech website.
Thank you for pointing that out, I wasn't aware. What brand is Rody working on these days then?
