Nf 12 S5??
Anyone ever heard of this engine? It looks like a miniature .21 Nova Rossi Black Magic. The guy at my lhs has one and he said it is NovaRossi's most powerful .12 engine. He said it has more power than the NS12S5! I do have to say, it looks just killer! All black with a polished aluminum head and the head is shaped like an alien head. Let me know if you guys have heard about this engine and if it is more powerful than the NS12S5. If so, then I think I'll pick it up. Thanks.

Anyone?

Need to post a pic. Never heard of such an engine before. Only thing I can think of that fits that description is a Rossi Pixi Black.
But never heard of an Nf 12 S5

It looks just like that one. Is that one a 5 port in your picture? If so, I'd say that, that is the engine he is selling. Any info on it? Have you tried it out?

Thats the 3-port but the 5-port is identical. Personally, I wouldnt take on free. They are the worst engine ever to tune when totally stock. Picco are easier kept running and they can be hard to tune at times too.
Dont know what the guy was trying to spin you but looks like he was just trying to offload some surplus stock.

I have a Rossi Pixy Black as well and it is really a good engine. The head shims are too big when stock so need to be removed but after that it flies

That's funny though, " I have a NF12 S5 motor ? " Wish I was there to see it. I would've said, " WTF ?!?"

I must admit, I have heard good things and bad things about the Black Pixy. I nearly bought one, but I have heard better things about the Novarossi NS12S3, so I bought it instead...
