I like the 2604 the best, the 2662 gives it a higher top speed but less bottom/mid power.

The 2630 is a useless pipe if you ask me, uses a lot of fuel and creates a lot of heat with less power as most other pipes.
If you want a nova pipe get the 2660 instead.
ill stick with the stock 2604 pipe then.

Add .2 to run 25% also if I am not mistaken those silver shims are .3. FYI picco shims will work also.

They made a junior 9 .21 buggy engine also so those won't work.

These are what you want:

Well you need a total of .5 shims so what ever way you can come up with that number is not important. I always use 2-.1 shims and the stock shim when running 25% and the motors seem to like that.

On the RB K9/K10 run a total of 3 x 0.22 mm shims for 30%....They are the included shims with the engine...some of these engines came with 4 shims, some came with 3 shims.....however for 30% fuel 3 shims is about right, 4 shims is too many and lowers the compression too much IMO ..

Yes, they are a direct fit.
The crankcase hasn't changed.
Only big change has been the T10RC crankshaft which is now balanced.

I dont know if nova plus will work, fit yes Im sure somebody knows. Seen the piston and sleeve set on A main hobbies under engine parts. From what I was told it has a little higher exhaust port.
