Default RE: the OFFICIAL R-40 thread !

I do have some Sirio Evo 3 owners and feedback from guys who consistently race them. They haven't complain or know of any issues with the conrod and or piston/sleeve. From what I DO know the OS doesn't last as long as other engines...but is reliable. I'll probably just get the Sirio since it's only $40 more than the OS and is available locally. As for my R40, I'm not sure if I'd sell this and bag the 05 Hara or just run with what I have. I got a chance to drive the 05 Hara and I must say there's a big difference. Unfortunately my LHS don't sell the upper deck and chasssis not to mention tower doesn't have all the 05 Hara parts. Funny how the 05 is the US version and not all places carry all parts. I may just end up with a Mugen or Kyosho to save myself the hassle.
