RB and NovaRossi (Rossi, Top and Rex) all seem to be the biggest for ooooooh and ahhhhhh, while O.S., Sirio and Mugen are next in line.

Those right there are the top choices around here. Just that most dont see Top as being a Rossi mill. Or Mugen *doh*
 
just got done doing break in this took all weekend to do and 3/4 of a gallon of nitro.but all said and done this mill is crazy.you deffentley need a very good starter box witch we did ryhtons box kicks ass.but you will need a pair of vise grips to turn the fly wheel over when it gets stuck at tdc.the last two tanks we ran today were wild. after almost 1 gallon of nitro this mill is starting to come alive.its unreal that you have to burn so much fuel to break in a mill but when your are done the power that comes out of it is bad ass. example was running with a 26 force he was at wot 10 to 15 feet ahead of me when i took off and i not only did catch upto him but past him with in 30 feet. we have some vids when rython gets home if he has time
 
wow that sucks it looks like the piston is pitted??? whats up with that
 
I don't know, but it is pitted as you can see in the photos. I'm glad I didn't need the engine, (I have a Top P-5 I just finished breaking-in for my K3). I only bought the WS7 II for when I wear out the P-5, so it will set on a shelf until I need it.
 
Good looking out man.
I inspect all my motors before I run them. Sometimes there are metal shavings in the motor, and that could easily ruin a day.
 
Yea, when I took my P-5 apart to inspect it I found three chips in it. They were inside the block behind the sleeve. Probably just waiting to launch themselves through the port and into the cylinder.
Aldo from Crispy Critters e-mailed me first thing this morning and said to send it back immediately (my RB that is).

Woah, I wonder how that happened to the metal?

I'm going to surely be checking out my new engine before I fire it up now!
