I was looking at some pics and i see that Robert Batlle, Jerome Aigoin, and Elliot Boots have been running the 2096 pipe, im surprise more of the us guys don't run it.

Its a pretty good feel

Some like it and some havent tried it ;)

Its funny. You Novarossi guys turns to RB2045 pipe (2096) and the top RB drivers prefer RB2097 which looks like a 9901. Don't know if 2097 and 9901 are similar in performance though :)

What the pipe looks like on the outside is only a small part of the story Bjarne

Rb engines need help in the torque dept. , it might be more like a efra legal 9853 ?

Whats going on Big Daddy Monty. Are things getting alittle bit better for the family? Have a quick question for you what are you thoughts on a Jp3 with a 41021 header on +4 C team

Jp-3 works good but i dont like the powerband it has for racing application personally

Alot like the 9886

On behalf of a friend...Is a Bonito too much for a buggy? What is the best Nova motor for a buggy? $ is not a factor.

imo the bonito is better suited for a buggy than a truggy but you gotta really fight the powerband in the midrange allllll the way to the moon , it van be a major handful

overpowering your buggy leads to slower laptimes ;)


+4, X3,x5 much better suited for buggy

Better for buggy?

Anywho, call me l8r bro, after the trickin and treatin is done.

Sometimes people say things that are confusing, isn't it?

It has to do with the way the powerband is on the engine

i am not a fan of the bonito really

it is a great italian built mill but i have never been a fan of engine designs that were derived from onroad engines adapted to offroad applications no matter who puts it out

plus 2 367 / toro nero / bonito all derived from the same design , i've seen and played with all of them


i like my engines to actually have a certain feel , useable power in the right areas , like lots of low end , not a powerband that requires you to think about how you gotta drive the car to keep the powerband at a certain point in order for it to feel like you have what you need as far as power

i will tell you the honest truth no matter , i am not a salesman , making money off of racers is not my first priority then keepin the racer happy so they will buy from me only , it does not hurt my feelings when racers want to try other engines , more experience for the racers the better imo


happy motorin',
Monty

called beeeeotch !! :lol:

Well I have been working on my new track in Prineville, raced the oss and have a bunch of elect ,, thinking its time to get back in to nitro. the last time was 1997 os 65 max in a boat. had fun I went elect because of fuels and traveling. now. I think its time to go nitro again.. buggy 1/8 scale,... to many to chose from.. so I come to the experts, what buggy and of course I would buy one of your motors , I here good things. what would you suggest if your would Please.?
motor AND buggy,? I have a bunch of losi toys. E 2.0 . Thanks chuck

Losi's buggy is good if you like Losi. The Hara D8 if you are on a budget. Money is not a issue MP9. I just started running the RC8.2 and like it so far. As for a engine Novarossi plus 4, P5, BTT or Fusion X3L and X7.

Hey Chuck, Fusion motors have been very good to me this season. Houston's X3LX was a great motor and plan on trying his X5 next season. Helps when the man himself races with u and can help u out. (Thanks Monty):)

Just switched to a TKI3 at Racetoberfest and all i can say is WOW. No more trying to find a good setup that is fast and easy to drive. MBX6R is now just a dust collector.:lol:

If u want i can bring both over and u can give them a whirl and i can check out the facility.
