41001 and 41019 fit too......

If you want anything more than a stock Bonito, that would be it. Ridiculously fast engine and awesome fuel economy.

Better fuel economy on a modded bonito? The bonitos i have seen as well as a few toros have been gas guzzlers, even on a base tune running temps between 220-250 compared to a 9-10 min plus 4 or what have you.

its all in the setup and tuning .... Bonitos are as good on fuel as any other if they are setup and tuned correctly...In a Buggy we are not far off a stock Plus 4 and in trugy they can do better............ But I will say this, the mod Bonito is much closer to a stock Plus4 in mileage then the stock Plus4 is to the Bonito's performance...like apples to oranges. The Bonito makes the stock plus4 look and feel like a boat anchor.... In the end we see very good runtimes from the Bonito's, especially impressive considering the engines output....friggen things are awesome......


Happy New Year !!!

Thanks for all the info guys.. Like I said, I love my Bonito. I was just curious if there was something else a little more nuttier on Novas list. All the info is greatly appreciated.

Thanks so much for the heads up again, so i have more choices now, will see what the seller has with him...

Need a Bonito making 11 minutes in this track...

I am doing 1130 with my +4, lightly modiyfied ;-) Aprox 40 second laptimes and the track is fast! I did 12:30 with my best OS V-spec engines.

That's awesome, what's your set up: Car, tank, restrictor, plug, fuel, ect....?

That engine is not possible to buy, even from Huston, CRE or anyone. Only one person as i know have theese engines and he have helped me meka one.

Os-vspec engine. Crono 2032 pipe. The 2032 pipe on this combo makes the engine hit the pipe a bit hard but on this track it is not a huge problem. Nitrothane 30% fuel, Losi Car ( somehow that car use less fuel than many others...) OS p6 glowplug as a 3 or 4 is just to warm to get the best fuell milage.


My +4 is a BTT team engine lightly tuned by my self. I am not a skilled tuner like MOnty, Murnan or CRE, but it is better than stock. Crono 2032 pipe. Meccamo 25% fuel. C6tgc glowplug. Standard compression. I use a IDRC restrictor as they help a bit with fuelconsumption too. Problem is that the OS speeds are fatser so i need more topend on that LONG staright :-)

Clutch setup is important also, but i do not remember what clutch i used.

Moast important is how you use your throttlefinger. If you press to hard you get wheelspin, and less runtime. The harder you have your clutch engament, the more fuel you will use. A friend of mine ( best driver here ) switched from 0.95mm spring on his Kysoho to 1.0mm springs and lost 30 seconds runtime..

Lots of good info, Thank you!!

Hey, anyone know the difference in the Nova Plus4 Btta, the Btts, and the Btt?

They all share ths exact same parts Reggie

Btta steel f/r , btt ceramic rear/steel front , btts ceramic f/r

I got some information that Nova stopped producing 24063 carb and has replaced it with 24069. Is it true? i'm currently using BTTS with 24063, what will be the advantage of using 24069? should I replace it? I'm all for fuel mileage.... If there's anybody with knowledge on this, your information will be appreciated.

On the exploded partssheet fromn Novarossi dated 6/6-12 it is 69 carb on engines produced after this date.

But i`d like to know how i can identyfy witch carb i have? Monty...

The only difference that I know of is the part of the carb that goes into the engine on the 69 is metal where the 63 was plastic. So unless you take your carb on and off all the time it won't matter which carb you have. The 63 will deform slightly if you crank down on the carb bolt too many times or make it too tight.
