CRONO RS5?
Where in the US can i get the crono? how is its power band? like compare it to the P5? do they make more than this one in the off road buggy .21's? i heard from a guy to watch out for these motors because they are top of the line? (stanky) said the internal parts are well built and are better than the RB's. what price do they average?

I know rb mods sells them. www.rbmods.net sells them but of course they are not stock.

RE: CRONO RS5?
sky i heard it was better but i want something more even as far as the power goes. the P5 has way too much bottom for my taste. i like my S7 -how does this motor act on the track? no one here has one?

Many super highend engine mfgs (RB/TOP/Rex...I think) don't release specs. If you can't find them on their website, you ain't gonna find them anywhere else.

RE: CRONO RS5?
http://www.svmcrono.com/ thats the best I can do for you on the specs. I talked to Eric about the 5 around a week ago and he told me it's a p5 with a better rod and more detail in the build thats all. I'm not sure what you are looking for as far as power goes but if you call GB direct you can get some straight answers. http://home.earthlink.net/~gbdirect/ thats the link for GB. As far as how the motor acts on a track I've only driven a buggy with a rs5 once and it was real smooth. It seemed to need some room to stretch its legs though and the track I was on didn't have enough straight to do that, but the lowend was very smooth.

It's a P5 with same R4 rod that comes with all new Nova- Motors but a different crank- different timing. Smoother power and more top end less bottom.

RE: CRONO RS5?
thanks men -cheers mates
i got to get one but i just wish i seen a RS5 AND RS7 in action so i knew what one to get???? i run at a tight indoor track that has 1 straight and the rest is really turns and whoops and some table tops. i got a little confused when viper said it needed some room to streach its legs? i thought the RS5 was like the P5?

What track do you run on I'm in northwest Indiana maybe I'll come by and say hi and race a day. If you know about the fish store then you know how tight of a track I run on for the indoor season.

Eric will hook you up at GB Direct. And that motor is better than a P5- and cheaper as well.

Yea it's better than the top, rex, nova P5's. And very similar to the JP FX B-5N Stock. I run the Novarossi 9886 Pipe on all my P5 variants.
