Hi There:

1) Can anyone tell me if the V12 has replaced the X12? I don't see the X12 on RB Concepts Product page so I'm assuming so. But it seems a lot of people are still buying this motor and are praising it.

2) Why on the product page why is the V15 engine under the 2.11 CC and 2.5 CC engine class? Are there 2 different types of V15 engines? When I click on them they both bring up the same information.

3) Is the order for small block engines from weakest (No RB Engine Is A Weak Engine) to strongest is...
C12 2.11
V12 2.11
Power 2.50
V15 2.50
X15 2.50

4) As I understand the X15 is a fairly big engine so does that mean it is not a small block? I know it won't fit in a 1/10th touring car without modification.

5) And fiannly will the V15T give me higher RPM's then a Rody or Collari Modifies V12?

I guess I'm looking for massive get up and go without comprimising top speed. I read about a lot of people saying how a modified V12 just screems due to the high RPM's it outputs in a 1/10th Touring Car and I guess I always thought a V15T would be even better. But there seems to be a little controversy about that.

Thanks For The Help And Your Patience!!!!!!!!!

1) Yes the X12 series have been replaced by the V12 series.

2) The V15 is a 2.5cc(or .015) engine, so they can be placed in the 2.5cc section. However the crankcase size of the engine is the same as our .12 engines and so this is why they are also present in the 2.11cc(or .12) engine section.

3) The strength of these engines should be indicated by our * system, the more * the better the engine.

4) Indeed the X15 series do not fit in the 200mm 1/10 scale cars.

5) No real higher rpm's but much more torque.

The V15T is the fastest engine on the planet which you can fit in a 200mm touring car without making any modifications to the car itself.

Hi There:

Thanks for the reply Rody! That's sort of what I thought but I was just looking for confirmation! Plus I couldn't find any star ratings on the Power Engine. So I wasn't too sure if it was a "stronger performing" engine then the V15.

Hey Rody do you have any idea when we could expect to see a Rody or Collari Modified V15 Turbo engine? Or are you not even going to go down that road? Cause depending on a expected release date I may just order a V15 Turbo or hang tight as I'm still slowly working on my chassis for a modified version.

Thanks For All The Help Rody!!!!!
Marcus
