You guys are too fast posting for me...lol! It sucks my work blocks this site, I have to wait until I get home to post.

I didn't look into sleeve pinching. One guy at the track did it and didn't have good results. He wound up getting a new Fantom.

I looked all over for a new piston/sleeve, but since the MT12 is long out of production, none could be had. I should have bought a spare ot two. That is my rationale for a new motor. This time I will get at least one extra sleeve/piston.

I looked on Tower and couldn't find anything about the OS .12tg. Any links?

Dave where you find that MT12? Me wants

I had an MT12 and OS CVR...both EXCELENT engines!!!

check out sheldon's hobbies online. they might have one. btw....you can get an os cv or cvr AND a really expensive aftermarket head, plus extra pistons and sleaves and still be waaaaaay cheaper than an mt12. not bashing the mt12 by no means....got one myself. it's a great engine. but, os is alot easier on the wallet.

I keep a os cv .12 for a backup and play engine also. Nice reliable engines and you can buy a piston/sleeve for 20 bucks or so. But man you just can't beat the performance and longevity of a novarossi!! It's hard to drop the coin for one, but once you do you'll appreciate it for a couple seasons.. and again when you get it pinched!!

Thanks guys. I decided to try out RayARacing for a resizing before spending the money on a new Novarossi. I will probably buy an OS CV-R as a back up engine as this Dynamite is offically dead. Last use it wouldn't suck gas. I took it apart, cleaned and resealed the engine. I didn't find any damge. It still won't suck gas and stay running. I took an old abused Novarossi CT12 from my NTC3, intalled it into my truck and it fired right up and ran flawlessly. That is why I love the Novarossi's so much

I was hoping to find out what replaced the MT12 in Novarossi's lineup *just in case*. This thread has lots of great info on choices, thats for sure!

The rs .12 or tn .12 is a rear exhaust like the mt .12
The cx .12 is side exhaust.

Took a OS 15CV-R out of my GT and put a Dynamite 12Spd in it.


VERY happy with the 12Spd, like it better than the OS 15CV-R OR the OS18CV-R that came in the GT!!!

just installed a tz with a wore piston sleeve set on my losi truck
and it runs with lots of power, I agree the tz is a very powerful
engine for a truck, hut hey you can adjust travel on your radio
to avoid too much power or, you can go 2 teeth on the bell like I did.
I'm using the drake pipe and thinking of swithing to the mugen off road inline pipe

happy racing

be careful to not nuke your clutch or the motor with those 2 extra teeth!

I always heard bad things about the dynamite engine.. But my buddy races one and it's really an impressive little engine and has lasted a loooong time for him. I drove it today and I didn't think the thing was hurting for power at all. Nice engine in my opinion.

I never cared for my .12 spd. I put in the OS .12 cv-r and it's been running for over a year now and I like it better than the .12 spd.
