What do you guys think of their .21 CE engines? I can get a super deal on a RB .21 CE. Is this a good engine? Can't find any specs anywhere on the net. Thanks again

Yeah I hear the ws711 is one hell of an engine its just a little out of my price range. I'm wondering about the .21 CE. I know its not the WS7 but....Wondering if its powerfull or just over an overpriced engine?

well thats up to you if you can buy it for 35 $ then go for it. if i mte ask were are you getting this mill for that amount can you buy mor if so ill take 5 of them...but as far as putting them in a buggy i have to say no. this a 3 port mill and yes it has power but imo not enough to power a 4wd ride..this is opiion
 
I have a RB CE in my Storm and I love it. It may only be a 3 port but it'll fool ya. I run 20% with OS8 plugs and it holds a tune very well. I paid $128 for mine and would buy another. I can highly recommend it.
 
I've heard the 3-port RB CE engines have awesome low-end...maybe more low end than the ws7II. the CE 3-port or even the 5-port would be great mills for tight technical tracks. on top of that the CE line from rb is probably the best engine you can buy for that amount of money...150-180$ brand new.
 
If I lean mine out to run around 270 it's fast. I try to keep it around 240ish and yes, great low end punch, but I give up the high end because I run it a little on the rich side. I've always heard that RB engines are considered a racers engine and when I go to local races, I see tons of ws7II's. Must mean something if lots of folks are using them. SkyMaxx has a european RB in his savage and he does just fine with it. For $35 I'd buy just about anything for that price. It's an RB and if it's new, dude.....go for it.

Actually, it is an S7 Europa by RB. Great engine. Moves the MBX5 pretty well for me.

At $35 it is worth getting and trying out. If it doesn't work, consider that a small price to pay for the experiment.
 
Just wondering if anybody knows where I can get the specs on this engine. I got it, ended up about 45 shipped it was on ebay. It is a RB CE .21. I've looked and looked but obviously not in the right places. Thanks guys.
