The ProTek R/C Samurai R03 3-Port .21 Competition Nitro Engine is the perfect weapon for 1/8 scale truggy and large track buggy applications, where an aggressive power band can provide an advantage. The Samurai R03 delivers a lethal blow with its high power 22E carburetor and long stroke configuration. Combine this with a 3-Port sleeve, turbo head button, 9 fin cooling head and rear ceramic bearing, and the R03 becomes a formidable opponent with its power, performance and proven reliability.

The Samurai R03 has been meticulously designed and crafted in Japan by a leading maker of model engines and delivers a versatile package like no other – excellent power delivery, predictable, crisp throttle-response and consistent carburetor settings are all traits every racer needs to stand atop the podium. So remember, when you head out to the battle field, it is better to fight with a Samurai than against one.

Looks sexy with black case and black head. Holds a tune and has loads of power. It is a little "punchy", not super linear. I Like the O-ring sealed button. The RO3 and the S03 are the same except for the carb, both motors are also the same as the B2103 S except you get the tall head instead of the LCG. If you are choosing between the B2103 S, S03, or the R03, all are good. You can't go wrong with this motor. On a side note, I bought two, both had notchy bearings since birth, I lost one when a ball from the rear bearing escaped and pretty much destroyed the entire engine in an one expensive afternoon. Stuff happens. I'd buy again.

Runs great and holds an idle well. The machining on all the internal parts is top notch work. Great motor so far after break in.
