I just bought a RB S5 for $200 and have heard nothing but good things about it. What do you all think?

That's one of the best engines in the RB line, it's pretty much an S7II with a 5 port piston and sleeve. That engine is extremely pipe sensitive, I really liked the O.S. 2050 or any of the 86 pipes with the Waller adapter. Good luck.

Has any one tried any of the Max power motors?
I am going to get one for my buggy but i cant decide if it would be wiser to go ahead and buy the 8 port or to just buy the 5 port. from what i have seen of my friends buggys, they are putting out some Crazy hoarse power. Looks like a little too much power almost.

i use a s5. and ill buy more!

pre heat is key! i do that every time and mine got stuck at the top till about 1.25 gallons.

mine does NOT run hot, temp at 219 after a 15 min a main.

the main thing to remember is the lowspeed controls temp on the motor.

alot of people say they like to be a little fat down low and load up, but i dont see to have that prob.

i use carbon shoes with mugen 1.0 and the tips of the shoes trimmed about 2mm
