Serpent should have used Parsel tongue as their language (see Harry Potter: it's the Snake language!!!)


Well, there is no minimum. From what I read, Julius mentioned that 4 mm was the sweat spot ! You can try 3 mm or 5 mm. Perhaps it will or will not be better.
Oh man, and I can't cut the screw down - the screw is too long for a 4mm spacer

If that's hell, I want to go to !

What do you mean bro? Instead of the usual fuel tubing on the front of the brake linkage where the plastic knob is, you replace it with a spring? If you wanted to brake hard, then it would be very difficult to stop the car. I guess not if you're using oneway.

Use a shorter M4 screw. I can't remember off my head but the stock one was like M4x20. I think M4x16 would do the trick.

Coool!!! It's actually a 25mm part and I've just found my Vector NT has 20mm M4 screws for the upper arm spacers

Yes, I replace it with throttle spring (G4, its smaller diameter than serpent). I found the braking is way smoother. Please try, im sure you will pleased with the result.

When using one way, use the car in front of you to stop immediately

That's a good one. And cruel too I might add.

Hi I have two questions in reference to my NOVA MAX 5P:

First: I am interested in getting a spare CONROD but due that this is a modify engine I don’t now if I can use the regular part from NOVAROSSI NS12 S5

Second: What is the effect in changing the Head shim from .3 to .4

Thanks

You might want to reconsider the throttle linkage.

With the fuel tubing on the carb side, the carb will indeed close more quickly. However, when you brake the servo will strain against the fuel tubing. This is NOT good for the servo.

Yes, you can use the conrod from the NS12 engine. In fact, all Novarossi .12 engines use the same conrod. Part number is NRS-07601.

You gain a little in the top end at the expense of a little bottom end. Temperature should drop a little due to less compression.

Hi Glen yes I did change yesterday the fuel tubing change it to a spring, the i4C Voltage monitor shows that with the spring the consumption is down when I hit the brake.

Thanks & sorry for my ignorance or my English but what will you call top end & botton end?
