might want to try a modded btt, mine has allot more on top and bottom than my keep off4.

Hey guys, new racer here. I currently have a Triton L4 in my buggy, no issues with it so far, has about 4 or 5 gallons on it. I am interested in getting a "plan b" motor, so that i can have a backup should things go left on a weekend.
some guys at the track have been suggesting a Nova P5, whats the difference between the Clio P5 and the P5XLT? Im looking for something smooth and driveable, with good mileage, durable, tuneable as im fairly new. i am definitely not the fastest and dont look to be, haven't gotten my trigger finger trained yet either. input or suggestions would be appreciated |

Hey guys. I tried searching this thread. Lots of pages and rctech less than great mobile app didn't return much.
I'm needing two engines for next year. For buggy and truck. This year I've been running an nova based x5, it's a great engine but racing in Colorado at 6,000-6,500ft in elevation it doesn't have the power I'm looking for, especially compared to a speed or reds based mill. I have enjoyed the quality of my novas though. But every one I've ever owned just hasn't had the power I want. +4btt and fms from back in the day. So my question. What are the biggest horsepower mills offered right now, I'm looking at Mito 7 Bonito In buggy And maybe .25 Roma in truck Any help would be appreciated. Take off 0,2mm of you headshims when racing at that altitude. Maybe even more. You will get more power ;-) |

Yeah I kno the part numbers are diff and stroke is diff. Anybody else hav any
Knowledge on this? |
Basically no but if the diameter of the sleeve is the same then it will fit but you must change the center pin, you also have change the button head. If the timings of the ports are within range is a question but it can be measured and changed. The only thing is that you will have a smaller engine, probably arround 3.3~3.4cc

Tko ceramics
Does tko have the nova keep off 4 n 7 rear special ceramic bearings? If does, what is the part number

My Elite 8 flames when landing a triple (and I am landing the backside of the triple). Any ideas on what causes this? Idle is good and changed plug. I don't believe it's rich.

I have an Os Speed 2060 new or an used Alpha Plus 2107...
I think an engine with 7 transfer ports can not be flat on top. |

Mine liked a 41033 with the 2096. like posted above its very smooth but I don't find it to be flat on top with the pipe I run. If your on super high bite you will probably want to run a little stiffer clutch setup to get it punchy.
I feel it runs allot like my protek samurai. mine has the two needle carb with long lsn not the 3 needles most of them come with. |

Linkage is good. Its a Tekno so flywheel actually sits above the chassis. I'll get some good heat in it and chk idle. I'm about ready to chuck that motor.
Try tighter bell-spur mesh |

It's all about too much flex of the tekno chassis. I had this issue on my NB48, pretty annoying.

Its the NT...basically a .3 now. Mesh is as tight as I can get it...Elite 8 has a wider base moving the bell farther away from the spur. I ran fine 4 wks ago. Temp has changed (cooler) so the tune is now richer. Was thinking maybe it was too rich, but it doesn't appear to be so. Idk. Anythg else to try? I love the power in this motor especially on trug, but I've had more trouble out of it than any about any motor I've ever owned.

What can I do to get some fuel mileage out of my plus 4 btt wc engine? I'm running a jq car with 3 shoe all aluminum clutch with 1.0 springs all around. 5.4 restrictor, reedy 2035 pipe. 7 1/2 is about its max runtime. I'd like to make 8 1/2 comfortably. I have an ofna 086 with double bend header I could run, or a reds 2104. I guess I don't know the trick to mileage seems everyone runs better than me. I'm also using byrons 30% nitro/8% oilfuel
|
mine runs 10min easy with a 2096/41033 with 6mm restrictor sidewinder pro blend 30%on a fairly large open track.
just to be sure your carb gap is about half mm, your total throw for the carb is slightly smaller than said restrictor and you have a proper race tune on the lowend? a difference in 3 minutes is pretty large are you dragging any bearings? i run the tki4 and its not really known for good milage |

2096/41021 for softer bottom with good top and almost same fuel consumption to 9901/41021 9886/41021 best powerband but thirsty Run 7mm venturi, 5.4mm you race on extreme small track? I believe the tune is messed up, check if lsn is extremely rich |
What do you call extremely rich? It had good power with little smoke. I'm a touch out from flush on the hsn and flush on the lsn

From your pictures, hsn is very rich, if you put a 7mm venturi, you will notice a lot of smoke. By running 5.4mm you will need to use throttle more often since it lacked power
|
I just ordered a set of venturis so I can go to 7mm and I put on an Ofna 086 pipe with the double bend manifold hoping it increases power and runtime.

Mito 7 crankshaft
Recently my cousin toasted his mito 7 engine, i find the crank part number is 15027-T, is it possible to replace it with bonito 15068 crankshaft?

About how much life should I get out of the Elite5/8 line of engines? Mine has compression, but not a lot of pinch. Debating on getting a new p/s vs just calling it done if this line doesn't get a lot of life.

Ive got two motors with well over that. The btt posted earlier is Closer to five and half to six and a second set of bearings and still will hold its own weight when you hold the motor by the flywheel.that thing has to be the exception to the rule as my keep off 4 which is pretty close to the same motor has about four on it and there is zero mechanical pinch.
I don't think I ever put the too kill tune on the btt but it runs ten easy at the large open local track. |
Only 3 gal avg for a race tuned engine!!!?? Is that just the Top Elite line or all novas?
