RX probably stands for Rotary eXperimental.

That might be better than “Rotary Experimental”.

Does the engine need a complete rebuild between heats?

Hey cool video thanks for sharing. That thing looks like it’s smiling the whole time. Lol.

Everybody needs to take the alternative route at least once, is that right?

No worries, I’m all for people using something different at races, it gets a bit boring when it’s just DS3's and Fiesta’s in RX

I’m not sure I follow this train of thought, but I am just about to go sleep so possibly the brain not firing on all cylinders (or is it rotaries?)

(“Rx” is an abbreviated version of prescription but I forgot to leave the “x” lowercase. I wasn’t thinking clearly ’cause I GOT A FEVER.)

As a previous owner, I can attest that RX stands for blown apex seal.
