na the P5 will likely be around for a while, maybe some minor updates like they have over the past few years, but still the same basic engine.

The P5XLT is an awesome engine, lots of grunt, really good engine for buggy and plenty for a truggy too

edit.... Not trying to take anything away from the 2084....its just that the Roma most likely already has a strong bottom end, so adding on a 9853 type pipe may be going too far in the one direction...usually large engine do better on RPM type pipes, as the bigger engines already have a pile of low end torque and usually need the most help on the top end....!
thanks Neil some very good info thats what I am looking for cheers

Guys, i'm looking to get a Nova engine for my truggy. Wondered why not, i'm getting a Serpent S811T, lets start all new, also the engine


I have been running a Werks B5/2013-2058 and love it, never had a problem with it and it runs good. But i wanted to try something else.

Heared alot about the Bonito, so that mill has my interest, but what will be the diferences with a Werks B5? Also will a Bonito run good with a 2058 or 2013 pipe? How is the bottom & top end from the Bonito?

Like to hear about this mill

if you are going all new for your truggy get hold of the roma, I am looking at that one at present from current reports should be similar runtime but more power than the bonito keen to give one a try very soon.
cheers

I would like to keep it at a .21 because they deliver enough power for a truggy,at least most of them..

What are the specs for a Bonito? Much power down low? Good top end or does it lack on top??

Someone who can compare it to a Werks B5 Or Alpha S852?

The bonito is a very fast engine, loads of top end, you'll run out of room before you run out of engine. Also in comparison to its predecessor(Toro Nero), its a bit stronger on the bottom end. If you run it with a pipe that yields a lot of grunt, like a 2084 or 2013 or maybe even a 2096, you will get a good balance of torque and plenty of top end. If you want a stump puller, grab yourself a P5XLT. I ran one in an RC8T with a 2084 and I could handle short run-ups to jumps as good or better than the Nova 28 i had in it.

The P5XLT also has a very attractive price

Thanks for the information, im still most interested in the Bonito.. Donīt know why, but i saw some Toro Neroīs at truggys and they did a good job, so i think a Bonito will work real good..

How are the runtimes from a Bonito? I reach 9;30 average with my B5/2013, heavy on throttle...

I've been getting between 10 and 12 minutes out of my PowerHouse Toro Nero, depending on the variables. I run an Ascendancy 4 shoe clutch with (4) .9 springs and alum shoes, 1 tooth up on clutchbell, 9901 pipe with the long 41020 header, Coldfusion 30%
