Black & Blue = Sirio
Blue + Black Crankcase = JP

I would say Serpent should be using Orange Heatsink + Black Crankcase since Orange are the main colour for them


But if they come out like Orange Heatsink + Purple Crankcase !! ...
We will able to see the engine properly from far instead of the car !! ...

Let guess about this ...

The Orange and Black Crankcase colors has been already taken by RB Concepts Rody Roem Tuned engines so that can't be the color of the new Mega engines

Why not? A different shade of orange perhaps?

Blue heatsink was already adopted by OS engines. Then comes Sirio also with blue heatsinks and now we have JP engines also with blue heatsinks !

Hi,

Looks like Serpent is giving up building engines.
Wath they are going to built isn't a engine. It's a icecream machine!

Their cars rock, but their NovaRossi based engine can't beat the JP and R&B, the picco based Mega can't probebly even beat a OS max!

I don't see why not....If the carb leaks (and the motor runs lean) like every other POS picco based engine I've seen,the motor will be plenty fast....

This is just a guess, but I think the head will be orange, same color of their new MEGA logo on tsn the tsn publication now.

wow that heatsink is very small I think if this is going to be a high performance engine it will suffer greatly from heat issues

Interesting comments by NovaRossi on their site this morning. There's much more to this story than we know about.


Decisions taken and published by Serpent MCR Holland on internet are not our business. Novarossi will no longer supply Serpent with engines and we will act in such a way so that Serpent can no longer use our spare parts. Novarossi is free to sell its own engines only to those companies which can prove to have structures and means consistent with its engines.

Barchi Graziosa


Le decisioni prese da Serpent MRC Olanda e pubblicate su internet non sono di nostra competenza. Da parte nostra, Novarossi non fornirà più motori a Serpent e farà in modo che Serpent non possa più utilizzare i nostri ricambi. Novarossi è libera di vendere i propri motori solo a quelle ditte che dimostrano di avere strutture e mezzi consoni ai suoi motori.
