On the P5, and on the plus 4, I have seen an extra minute of runtime going from a 9901 to a 2096 pipe. I have gone back and forth a couple times and I like the power of the 9901 better, but that 2096 is sure smooth.

the 2084 will tame that engine right down, you will not have any issues ..........Out of all the pipes I tried on those engines the 2084 reduced the power about the most.......

anyone know if any of the losi RE manifolds are the same as the 41021? i know the re12 is the 9901 pipe but are any of the manifolds the same as the 41021. thanks

the headers will perform very similar though ;) |

I have also seen Nova pipes so bent up it wasn't funny (but no holes or tears) and I even started fixing these bent up monsters for a bit of money (freezing water is so nice.) At the end of the day everyone I know who has used a cheap header has had problems much quicker than those who use the real deal. The cheap pipes are okay but the headers are probably not the way to go, I have the square Nova header waiting for when the cheap one to crap out |
The Losi pipes arent fragile. at $60 on amain, i see no reason to purchase the nova 9901, when this re12 gets the about the the same runtime, and same powerband.
And your pipes are made of some funky aluminum if they are rusting. |

hi guys soz if i havnt read back thru the thread im lookin at getting a truggy engine and narrowed it down to a few of choice.
remember it is for truggy. im after a mixture of runtime power and smooth usable power or possibly just raw grunt i guess depends on track where jumps are etc. i wanted to know (from the guys who run truggy and have tried these engines) would i be better off with just the .21 like say the novarossi bonito and or the o.s speed xzb is what i would really like to know if i was to already have these engines and then went and put in a novarossi roma .25 am i going to feel and notice a big difference? because the nova roma is cheaper then the bonito and about on par with the o.s speed (well where i can get one from anyway) and the roma's dont have a balanced crank etc. so im not sure. i just want to jump in my truggy and rip it around the track sure if its too much i can feather the throttle but i would rather the extra grunt am i going to notice it in the roma? |
Try a Fusion X7.

Unfortunately it is more like engine, manifold, pipe, clutch set up, drivetrain efficiency, track size, track layout, track surface, and most improtantly drivestyle combo that will yield long runtimes.
The 9901 is supposed to be the long runtime with softer bottom type pipe. I personally like the 2096 and the 9853 pipes. I have all three and it is not always the 9901 that yeilds the longest runtime for every track for me. Experiment. Because some pipes, you may loose a little runtime, but you may be generally faster around the track.

runtime is mainly to do with the driver and his/her skill tuning the engine...I can make about anything make 10 minutes with careful tuning, even modified 28's...........My advice is match the engine to your driving style first, then start worrying about runtime.....
Ok, thanks for the input guys. I'll start out with a PLUS-4BTT and a 9901 pipe and the 41021 mainfold. Any thoughts about vernti size? If my goal is making 10 minutes pitstops would I use a larger or smaller venturi? Or does the PLUS-4BTT have a "sweetspot-size" venturi? |
anyone know what the power output on the novarossi romas rated at? they dont show it in the engine specs on the novarossi website :(.

The hp rating on our engines is really nothing , its not a true standardized mark or anything like that , the roma is ummm how shall I say "hold on to your hat boy!" Type of power , lol And it has killer torque ;) |
