Answer clutch and silver 1.0 springs. After a 6 min qual fuel was just below seam in tank. Can't complain abt mileage. My buddy got the exact engine from EB Mods and his has no bottom lag with 9853/41005. Gonna try that pipe and do more testing with RE10 this week. Murnan mods says alot of guys that run his modded fms like the 9901/41021 combo. To the track for pipe testing with Ed Bridges.

Hi

What header and pipe would you guys recommend for the Nova based Nitrotec? Been reeding that the Losi pipes are not so good, and I really need an EFRA approved pipe.

Thanks guys

Maybe the 9901SS/41021 header or the new 2084.

Has this changed in the last year? I bought mine last summer and read all the threads I could find on the FMS. I remember seeing that you would have to add a shim to run 30%. I been running 25% all this time for nothing then.

there were a few of the earlier fms engines shimmed at .70mm but all the recent ones have been shimmed for american tracks and racers that run 30% nitro

Did some testing today and what I found was surprising. When I first changed
over to the 9886 pipe from the 9901 and a 7mm venturi to a 7.5mm I made
a slight needle ajustment and ran from there. What I found out today is that
you have to completely retune the engine. I mean start with the HSN I ran it
up and down my street until it was set. Then the LSN leaned it until I got a
constant steady idle (before the idle was blubbery and not constant) I let it
idle for about 10 seconds then yank the throttle and it accelerated with
out stumbling.(before when I did that the engine would almost die or did die)
Well anyway the engine runs like a champ now, the lag is basically gone. I race this Saturday and I will let you know how it went. The 9853/41005
combo sounds interesting, but I would think the two 90 degree bends on the 41005 would hamper the top-end?

Ok so in the near future I will be running nova +4's in my truggy and buggy...i was wondering has anyone tried it in the truggy with 9853/Long header? that's the setup I was thinking of trying because I've seen a few plus' in truggies and they didn't seem to have that bottom that I'd like. I would still like to have some top obviously for longer jumps on long straights but i want a fair amount of bottom 2

no it doesnt and yes , every time you change pipesets that have different characteristics a complete retune is in order , i recommend just richening needles at least 1/4 turn on high and low before you go out and run or bench tune .

top end pipes will have leaner bottom and richer top balance and opposite for low end based pipes a little tip from your uncle larr'

9853ss/41021 you will be happy with that setup but i would recommend p5xlt for truggy

I've thought about that 2 as i know the P5 is stout maybe I will we'll see when the time comes...btw how much do you charge for them? cause amain my favorite online hobby shop never has them in stock ever!!!

Thanks Monty.

I bought a used toro nero off the bay cheap. The crank, case, carb, head all seem to be in good shape but the P/S/rod is shot. I was wondering if any other p/s will fit in that motor. New toro nero p/s is like 250...I was wonder if a p5 or bf p/s will fit..thanks!

Toro nero is its own animal , that answer would be no

Were can I get a p/s then? At 250 it would be better to just buy a another toro

Yeah houston can we get a hook up?
