Monty, any idea why there is no X4 or X5? Seems like all the perfect engines out today are 4 or 5 ports. Any plans for new models coming?

i am trying to talk him into the x5 and he has his mind set on an x4 , either way will be awesome but it has to be something different than novarossi sells to the public

Here's an idea,

An X4 with the runtime and smooth power band of a plus4 with the power of a P5. Just throwing something out there as I don't really know what the power of a plus4 is, though they do look good in a buggy.

How about an X5 that's the same as a HES Tuned P5, that would be killer and I'd have a shelf full of them.

How do you think the X7 compares to a P5?

It is not allways the numder of ports, that makes a great e.g. buggy engine. RB X11 is a very good engine with only 3 ports

You could just use the plus4 crank and fill it, and put it in a production x5...and so on....

Very distinctive sound, unlike any nova. Smiles
