Hi ray, i sent off my piston, sleeve and button for the Nova Mega .12 today.
I forgot to include a note with it asking for you to give your thoughts on the wristpin and conrod....(which i have ordered new anyway).
I't will be interesting to see how long it takes to get to you as it's my first international posting.
Cheers

Inspection request noted on invoice for you. Shipping international Post too and from Australia is aprox 8 days, sometimes more or less depending on customs. We havn't expereanced any issues shipping in and out of Australia over the years.

Ray i have been wondering about what the right pinch might be for my particular motor.
To me the 'medium' is the highest level, and so part of my brain says that's the better option.
Another part of my brain says that perhaps a light-medium might be better for longevity or perhaps one more resizing after this one (if the first reconditions ok).
Your will be a better judge i am sure!
One thing for me is i think they dont make any new pistons and sleeves for my Nova Mega Sx 12 re EV1 MS anymore, so once it's done ... it's done!
I also wonder with all the different sets you have done if there is a similarity between sleeves and pistons from different manufacturers. Like roughly how many different sized sleeves are there for the .12 sized motors?
I am kinda hopeful that one day i might work out what other pistons and sleeves may work in this motor of mine.
Cheers~

I owned a few Nova Mega SX.21 engines, along with many other 1/10 scale onrodad sedan engine models and "light-Medium" tightness is best. I personaly would prefer running even a tad lighter for onroad engine models as they spool up faster, re-breakin faster, and withy very little sacrifice of longevety I have found. Email me on a latter dat and I will reference that engine model as to other piston+sleeve sets you can run the SX case.
Dam I miss onroad racing

Have you shipped to Australia before and know roughly how long it takes?
I only ask as I placed an order with amain 2 days after you advised postal date and the amain stuff has arrived a few days ago.
Cheers and let me know what you can.
Just saw your reply to NitrousRc a few days ago, so I guess mine should have arrived a few days ago but may be held up a little.

Hi there Ray, not sure if it is just slow freight but my sets have not turned up yet?
