Correct there are no leaks and since I have taken this photo I have cut out the window on the driver's side so I can get to the fuel tank easier. ;)

Horatio I believe that the new 30's about to come out will change the monster truck scene completly. :D I believe that a high performance .30 size engine is just what these monster trucks need.

zilla.46
 
The Hotbodies and Cen .46 motor are just not that great of a performer even with modifications!! I am happy to see that engine companies Like O.S, Sirio, Colari, are coming out with .30 plus size motors that I am sure will out perform the .46!! My .28 Novarossi out performs my .46 that is why it is in my zilla instead of the .46. Which one of the new .30 plus motors will be king of the hill in the power department??? Only time will tell!! I heard a rumor the order day that a company was working on a .35 :D :D Yipeeeeeeeeee!!

the only doubt i have about the bigger engines is that they will just be torque monsters, lacking the appropriate RPMs to have any top-end. :nod:
i would rather just get a good quality .21 than spend the same money on a .35 engine that has no top-end. :nod: just my opinion.

.................................................. ..................You may be right about that Mac, we won't know until they are all out and have been tested and compared. I know that the 3-port big Block motors have a tendancy to be torque monsters!! But some of the big block Novarossi .28 8 - port motors have a more usuable powerband and good top-end. At any rate they are still gonna be better than the .46 :D

does your novarossi have a rotostart or pull?

nitrohead5300 08-28-2005 05:32 PM

I put a rotostart on it. I just used one that I had laying around. :) Savage-Central has a thread on putting a rotostart on a Novarossi .28 just hit the search button on their website.

i know, i was just kidding. my dog is constantly following me all of the time too, in hopes of getting some food, since that is always what dogs are thinking about. i was in the kitchen one day and i backed up into my dog, spilling food everywhere. fortunately i didn't have to clean up since my dog did!! :lol: :lol: :nod:

You are a lucky man Mac!! At least you did't break anything :nod: I am just excited because of all the big block engine choices!!! :nod:
