Title: How good is RTR Post by: chuckorlando on October 21, 2011, 07:15:46 AM I bought a used polaris 400 jug off my buddy that was supposed to have been trail ported by RTR. He then sent his engine off to Rick Ritter. Both our engines were basicly the same with the exception of his trail light fly wheel verse my stock, and th ports. It seems I had a good bit more torque off the bottom. Well I grenaded top and bottom end this weeked so I'm starting a crank up rebuild on another case.
Now I aint positive it was RTR but it was someone in Fl with 3 letters that were close to rtr. On Gen3 Ritters the man. I know his and HPD's prices and quality. So I'm wondering if any of you have an opinion on RTR. I will basicly be looking at a trail ported jug, reinforced jug tabs or a girdle, case saver, fresh bore. I will also possibly need a rebuilt crank, rebuilt counter balance, bearing kit, topend kit, shaved flywheel, and gaskets. Though some of this I can find via ebay or cheap cycle or what have you Thanks Title: Re: How good is RTR Post by: 08Honda400EX on October 21, 2011, 10:40:44 AM He's doing my engine work on my honda 400 now. I went with him because I heard great things about his work.

He ported my son's TRX450 as well as my LTR450, NO COMPLAINTS!!!!! Title: Re: How good is RTR Post by: chuckorlando on October 23, 2011, 05:21:53 PM Awsome guy's. I would love to put the smack down on my boys who have identical built machines, simply because I went with a diffrent builder.
Title: Re: How good is RTR Post by: greenmachine on October 24, 2011, 07:33:56 AM Rick is a great guy. He took my sons blaster from the rear of the pack to the front matter of fact he got the holeshot at Dade City this weekend. He makes horsepower and dependability. I recommend him to anyone needing performance engine work....period!
