i've search here, and everywhere i could not come up with,a place to get a new block for my RB 323 TM, my local hobby shop does not deal in rb products and i cant find any other shops that deal, and can get a block, they seem to be able to get just about every other part for the engine, but not the block, anyone??
thanx

The blocks are also available, however this is not a usual stocked item and so needs probabaly to be specially ordered and this also takes some time.

still no luck finding one of these. has anyone else had this problem with there block, and if so what are the chances of getting it welded? There's a welding shop up the road from me that is pretty good with aluminum. i may take the block up to him and see what he can do.

kevin from RB USA here, i put you in touch with a shop and when he gave you the price of the block he never heard back from you.
the block is available and the shop i put you in touch with was happy to sell it to you but it seems that when the dollar amount was mentioned there was never a follow up from your end with that shop.
no matter who you contact here in the USA, the cost of that replacement block will be pricey, if you want me to put you back in contact with the shop that had it please let me know but i would prefer you not post negative info such as this on our forum, we did our best putting you in contact with a shop, if you choose not to buy from them because of the cost thats one thing but its unfair to say the blockis not available.
thank you again and please let me know if i can proide you with the shops number in the event you have misplaced it

No,, actuly that person you put me in touch with said he had one, then said he didnt.
thanx for trying, but it simple got me no where, i was not leaving "Negitive" post's. i love your products, please dont try to turn this into an argument.
since all this however, i have had my local welder down the road weld the block for me, he did a great job, i am just waiting for new bearings to get here. btw i just bought another of your engines, the 523tm. and fyi, from what i can see getting parts for this new engine looks to be very easy.

happy to hear you are back out and running, please let me know how the welded block holds up, i would be curious to see if things hold together or not.
i was not trying to be argumentative in my post, i just want to make it clear to everyone out there that we will, and do, try to do our best when it comes to putting end users in touch with shops to get you the parts you need to stay up and running
my apologies if it was read into differently or came across rough, that was not the intentions

And I was not implying that you dont do what you can. You did a great job, and I am thankfull for that. it was the dealer that simple didnt have the part. non the less, I'm just waiting for the bearings (should be here sometime this week) and we'll have it back up and running. ill let you know about the welded block, ill snap some pics of it if you want.
Thanx.
Isaac
