It'll work good , wont quite get the mileage but you will get power

What pipe combo works on the Novarossi P5XLT in a Truggy..... How do the Guys running a P5XLT in a Truggy find it for run time and performance.....

I used to run 9901 and short header and found it to be pretty good, Could get over ten minute run time no problems at all

Blade,

I run the 2084 pipe, and 021 header on mine. Love it. I have heard that the 2096 is a little better. 8mm carb restrictor, #5 Rossi plug at first then went to a #6 last time I ran it, Byron's Pro Driver 30% and still got 10 minutes a tank running it hard at close to sea level. XLT was in stock form, no mods. This year she's modded so we'll see how much better it is.

2096/41021 combo in Serpent 811T, engine is fairly new so I have not had it outside yet. FWIW, at two indoor events the combo would easily make 12-13min. Mine is Houston Tuned version, ran C6TGC plug, 7mm restrictor, and 30% VP/Powermaster

Question, I have a bonito that I am planning on racing tomorrow and I wanted to ask about suggestions for clutch springs

I have the werks clutch medium with alu shoes so since I read that the bonito has a little of a slow rev up out of the hole and the track that I will be running needs some bottom power what would you reccomend to run as far as springs?
2- .9 and 2 -1
4- .9
4- 1

Suggest a light or ultra light flywheel , 2 x 1.1mm , 2 x 1.0mm all aluminum

I have the light flywheel so I guess I can try that combo

thanks houston

Surely

I would recommend completely removing the copper shim on the bonito also , unles it is still fresh then wait until "pinch" is lightened up and it is just a nice compression seal

Hope this helps

Monty...do you remove the copper shim on your HES tuned Bonito or do you leave it up to the owner to do so?

it's brand new maybe half a gallon thru it

Ran the bonitos in Crcrc this past weekend and they ripped!! one in buggy 1 in truggy. 12+ minutes a tank temps about 255 and my buddies were amazed!!!

the owner (you ) should do so after the engine is fully broke in

you will see a drastic change in engine performance

Serious question... Is the Bonito bottom end really that soft it requires a clutch setup like that?

I can't speak for others, but my modified Bonito has massive bottom end ...on my engine guys are gearing up 1 tooth and running .9 springs on the clutch in truggy..... that is even running a 9886 on the shortest manifold possible .......The engines awesome and has more truggy power then any other .21 i have ever seen ....And I don't even run the head clearance any tighter then stock, we haven't needed to pull any shims out yet....nobody has even asked LOL !
