Thanks
novice racer ? no

high end expert racer ? yes


the stock nova bearings are really high quality high speed bearings
the ceramic are a little bit better and will last a little longer for sure

From a novice racer, the standard PLUS 4 with the 6.5 will be all you can drive, trust me.... After my first year of outdoor the standard Plus 4 will still be fine for me

hi monty on the plus 4c looking at the pic of the tuned crankshaft can you tell if it is done like the modders do im quessing this is were the improved throttle responce and run time come from. what run time increases can i expect from the plus 4 as the modders usually find 1 or 2 mins is the 4c gonna be the same. i quess the ceramics will help also the run time

The reason i ask is at the last round of the UK nationals the top novarossi driver was pitting at 8mins on quite a big track using plus 4 9901 41021 and a 6.5 venturi and the top 2 Os speed drivers were getting 10mins each

from what i have heard how is adam drake getting 13 odd mins

any feedback would be great help

thats fine but dont try to push the engine any farther than it wants to go and try to keep the temps below the 225° area

you will be fine
try to enlist the help of a good novarossi tuner when you get there
