that's a steal for an OD head! I'm used to seeing those for $40. The head buttons are $25 by themselves!

And YES, it will fit a 21-5, P5, N21BF... whatever. The Rossi, Top, Rex heads are all Novarossi heads.

If anyone needs a Novarossi cooling head; PM me.

I have several brand new, never used purple, Nova heads that were removed from various engines.

Will fit many older Nova's and the current line; I think most are from 21-5's and 21-7's so if you don't care what etching/name is on the top fine they're fine.

Just PM me if interested in one, I have maybe 4 or 5.

Well, in my case, with the modded BF, I put the C6BB head on it for a little more cooling to try to squeeze a little more power out of it. It helped, but not enough. That isn't enough power for a truggy.

Ok... get a BLACK cooling head... and a black permanant marker. Used to re-color my head when I ran Werks engines.

The welds broke on two of the cooling fins on the stocker.

These are made for Novarossi/RB Concept based engines with 4 bolt cooling heads that have either a standard or turbo button. I have one lime green, one blue, and two reds for sale at $25 shipped each, except for one red that has a very very small slight blemish and that one will be $22 shipped.
As always tune for your engine to run consistent and how you will be racing it, then check for temp...when i change cooling heads once i get the engine there with the normal head i check the block also to see what it reads...change the head and get it up to the normal running range and check the cooling head and block to see the difference

please contact me at supralative at yahoo dot com with any questions
