Nitro innovation of the year!

I was skeptical of these at first, but after testing these caps today, I can say they definitely live up to the hype! I cleaned out the internals and installed the cap on my Clocked Plus-4. The engine went from okay to the most stable running engine I've owned. It seemed like everything improved-from consistency, power band, and fuel mileage...I can't imagine running without one anymore. Hats off to Buku for developing such a valuable product that will help so many people have better running engines.

Engines back from RayA for a touch up, internals cleaned , fresh bearings installed, and BUKU caps locked and loaded. Looking forward to seeing how they affect the engine and tune

Anybody know which caps would fit on an EBMods JS Racing Motor? I'd definitely like to give these a try.

Tested the caps today on my Picco boost. They do work well. Better idle and overall performance.

Any plan for a product that will fit the Losi flywheel?

You could modify a current Buku cap. It might not protect as well but you could cut off the flange end of the cap.

I was wondering if you could tell us the inside diameter of the flange so we could just check the size of our engine.

I have a newish CRE P5 with maybe 8 tanks after break-in on it. My ? is, if you have a leak in the bearing and then install the cap with the grease...will the engine suck the grease into the crankcase? I'm guessin' no, but I figured I'd ask.

My Nova's needed 4-5 hours on the LSN and my Werks needed almost a full turn. And my engines were tuned to max performance (or so I thought) before.

Dave/Brain/Bill/Neal nice work with this little gem.....now lets hurry up with that new little front bea....well you know.....project.

Exactly as I suspected. If these do seal the front bearing you should have a rich engine
Even with a previously optimum tune. Good to hear.

For the 1% running nvision motors, the novarrosi cap fits with a snap.

Also where are you guys finding the grease/sealant? Id like to stock up now.
