The sbk is a short stroke. Lots of bottom end but not the best fuel economy. I don't remember many people pitting longer than 6:30-7 minutes with one. The p5 basically replaced it.

Is it possible for the carb needles or most likely the o-rings to wear put on a motor? I have a mito 4 and it seemed no matter what tuning we attempted it just kept high revving. We put an older 2 needle carb like the bonito carb and the motor runs great.

You could have a bad o-ring on one of the needles. Do you often turn the needles all the way in and then back out some number of turns?

Not usually maybe a couple hours at time.

Yes the orings can dry out and not seal anymore

Did you get your issue figured out ?

Lmk if i can help ya out

AMain are out of sock of the P5 Piston/liner set. Where else can I get one at a fair price that isn't $50.00 freight like novarossi direct.
Shipping to New Zealand.

I just got a mito 4 pre broken. Says to run 7 to 8 tanks till race ready, is there anything specific that I need to to during this process? Also can someone tell me how to operate the medium needle. This is my first engine that uses the medium needle
Thanks

Hello All,

Looking for a recommendation.

I have an HPI savage with extended chassis. I'm considering picking up the Novarorassi 28-8 Pull start engine.

Can you guys recommend a manifold and exhaust to go with this engine?

Also, any gearing and clutch recommendation would be appreciated as well. I do a lot of bashing, but would like something with a good balance of speed and power. I don't care for wheelies.

Don't touch that needle unless you know exactly what you are doing. Most never touch it.

Hi Guys,

Novarossi products available on our website. Check us out.

Got a C/P/R set for Novarossi P5?

Ok here's an odd one, well for me at least. Brand new Roma run a rear bearing. It would have 1/2 a gallon at most through it.

Not that I suspected anything but from the get go I was a little disappointed in its performance. I had one club day at our track then took it out and went back to the P5. Decided to put it back in and try it again on our home track. After a couple of tanks I heard the dreaded sound of a bearing. Of course by the time you hear it it's too late. The thing is toast. Mildly disappointed to say the least.

I doubt this is common but I would be interested to hear if this has happened in the past.

This seem to have been a common thing with the Romas. Same thing happen with a few of my buddies. Fortunately they're motors didn't get ruined. From what I was hearing it was best to swap the bearing out prior to firing it up.

Shout out to Absolute Hobbyz. Helped me out with a P5. Big thanks.

As for the Roma if they kill rear bearings that's not a good look. I am hopeful Amain will see me right here. If not back to Absolute Hobbyz to get parts as they have them instock.

Hey guys looking for a budget back up engine for the pit box. I'm looking at the elite 5 and the paloma limited as .21 orange head, what are some opinions?

Have both and both make great primary engines honestly. I don't think there's a better buggy engine for the money than the Elite5. It is my backup, but only because when I went to order another they were out of stock so I bought the P5XLT/16. Also a great engine. The Paloma is a great truck engine. I run a 2096 pipe in buggy and a 9886 in truck.

Ok yeah I have the mito 4 and it's great, so the paloma is more of a truggy engine?

That seems to be the overall consensus.

Great thanks for the info man , looks like I'll get the elite 5 for the pit box .

Im running my paloma in buggy now, cant use more than 1/3rd throttle most places but its not too out of control

Anyone else heard that the novarossi mugen beats engines are coming back?

Took the mito 4 per run out to the track the other day and I must say that this motor is so smooth! Considering getting another one as this will be my go to buggy engine

Has anyone tried the 41031 vs 41033 curve conical headers? If so which one would suggest. Speed runs

41031 for more overall power, 41032 for insane power.

41033 will give less bottom and will struggle with short run up

hahaha so this happened yesterday

Probably should have paid closer attention to the clearance between piston and headbutton. top bushing shattered and the bottom rounded and squished out.

Yikes.

There was an upper rod bushing? I've never had an engine with an upper bushing before.

Thanks cc

All Novarossi's have upper rod bushings.

I know JP had optional an R6 conrod (no upper bushing) with a DLC coated piston pin. Not sure if it is used in other engines as well

Good to know, thanks!

I recently picked up a Mito 7 for buggy. I've been running the 9901ss/41021 combo, but it leaves a lot to be desired and the tuning window is SMALL with the 5.48mm restrictor. I've only ran one race with it though, and I ran what I had with me at the track.

I figure that the 9901 chokes the engine down too much, and the 5.48mm restrictor makes it even worse.

I've read hundreds and hundreds on pages on here learning about all of the different pipe/header/restrictor combinations, but I still need a little direction.

I'm looking for controllable power. I really like my engines to have a lot of range throughout the throttle pull, rather than immediate power. My throttle finger isn't the best. Are 10 minute fuel stops out of the question? Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks!

Edit: I found this video- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eg2A...ature=youtu.be

Looks like my biggest issue is the restrictor size. I'll throw in the reccommended 7mm and give it a shot this weekend.

Bass, Who modified that piston for you? It look like there is been cut down about 1mm.Maybe they didn't set your engines piston clearance correctly.:mad:

Yeah that hack didnt check, it was me haha. I think the issue was switching from a non turbo to a turbo plug. I didnt really measure the clearance just assumed the usual 0.7mm shimming would work.It didnt at all haha, literally one high speed pass and it flamed and that was the result.
That was one of those $100 novas from absolute, being a stubborn jackass im going to try again this time with a dial indicator

Dont ever run 9901 pipe with 4ports engine, run 2096 or 9886 if permitted.

Venturi 5.48 for small track? Try 7 for best performance

He said Mito 7 not Mito 4. 🤔

Same goes with mito 7 unless u running a medium straight... Just try 2096. I find 9901 is a no go for 4ports n 7ports unless a small medium track

9901 rips much harder then a 2096 on the 4 ports... awesome pipe... Just cannot be used with a 41021...9901/41021 stinks... however 9901/41001 rips hard... so hard nobody would use a 2096 unless they were looking to reduce power....

9901, 41001 works awesome on the Legend 4 for us.
