The track we was on is a wide open track with 2 straights over 200ft and on straight that is 150ft. also the main jump is 46ft long - with an apporach of 35ft. For a truggy he could not keep up, and Im not talking about pipe to pipe either. he was running , but truggies are heavier and the Hyper Pro is even heavier.

So IMO i dont think that nova will really power your truggy
no it wont keep up on a huge national or worlds size track

even the badass 490$ engines feel underpowered on those kind of tracks token



for your average tracks with normal features this engine combo will be just fine ............. guaranteed


for worlds style tracks or national style tracks you will want more
