Update on the crankfiller silicone: The shipment arrived at the supplier and is on its way here, i will update once i get my hands on it. March 01/2008
Have you ever had the silicone filler come loose or even disintegrate out of the crankshaft of your favorite engine? Couldn't find the right stuff to fix it? What the hell is that stuff anyway and why is it such a big secret? Well, the factories told us if we have some that need fixing to send them to Italy or France respectively and they would repair the crankshaft. Yeah, good luck! After extensive searching and trying different things i was able to find just the right stuff which is being used by prominent japanese engine builder. Now we will make this self leveling red rtv available to everybody that wants it, including any engine modder that would like to use it. As a note: It took about 3 months to locate and another 3 months to purchase this product. So don't waste your time and try to " get it yourself" unless you are prepared to buy large quantities after you locate the stuff. Use what the Pro's use and get the RED RTV CRANKSHAFT FILLER right here from Reid R/C Performance.PRICE $24.95 3oz Tube
Picture shows the actual product and crankshafts prepared by M-Speed. Product will be available by the end of March 2008. Please e-mail us for questions and further details. rich@reidrc.com February 08/2008 Finally, posted some pics of things i am working on and thinking about, and yes, trying to get done before racing starts.Check out the PICTURES page. Also, got some new hats for myself. Ahem...,non of the people that promised to get me some of these came through. Check it, stylin, wohoo. January21/2008 Rich's Ramblings#2 are posted. Enjoy, or not. November14/2007 Wow, what a busy summer it has been. My appologies for the missing updates since the spring but we had a good time racing this year. We built quite a few engines in between races and also learned a few things. More on that later as i get started with my off season project. An all out, no holds barred OS V-Spec Offroad Race engine. I will post the sections of the article as the work progresses. Also up and coming is another "Rich's Ramblings" which will spell out a few things and probably piss off a few people as well. Can't wait.

January 22/2007 I was finally able to ready some updates and articles which i will post later this week. I have some Tech News about the 14mm cranked latest OPS engine as well as some snippets on the Ninja Drag Racing engine i just completed. October 11/2006 Crankcase article posted in the Tech section. Note: The current articles are meant to give an overview of the different parts and some facts and thoughts about them. Also a general description what is done to them during preparation. But it is not a "how to..." guide at this time. There will be further articles that will describe some of the work in detail. September 25/2006 Connecting Rods article posted in the Tech section. Getting ready to finish my Team page and get the Pictures page rolling. September 20/2006 Rich's Ramblings is posted. September 11/2006 Engine page now has some info on what services are available. For any questions please feel free to e-mail me at rich@reidrc.com
I am also almost done with the first TECH articles and will post them shortly. Topic Rich's Ramblings and Connecting Rods. -------- August 02/2006 Links page completed. If you would like to add your link please e-mail me. We also have space for advertising/promoting your product (r/c nitro related only) on this site and our race trailer. --------- As you may have noticed we have completely overhauled our web site. After several years of being factory reps and importers for several European R/C product lines we have returned to our roots and the things we used to have fun doing. Modifying R/C engines and spending time at the track with friends and fellow racers. In the coming weeks and months i am planing to rebuild our machine shop as well as this site.If you are looking for fast turn around and shiny crankshafts that look "cool" you are in the wrong place. But if you are looking for real performance upgrades based on 30 years of racing experience and close ties to some of the best engine builders in the industry then stay tuned. 'til soon
