Which Power Plant for Truggy
 

@ Houston,
you seem to be real savoy on the nova engines.
I'm looking to switch from OS to Nova. the last time I ran a Nova Rex based I had bad luck.
I will be looking for a motor for my truggy.
any help on a power plant would be great and a pipe and header combo.
thanks in advance.

I'm no Houston, but have run novarossi for the past 3 years I could suggest if your on a budget the p5xlt say with the 9853/41001 manifold combo
Or if your happy to spend then go bonito with that same combo you could also try the. 9886 pipe. I haven't run the keep off 21-7 but my last race meet a guy had it in his mugen and it was on par with the bonito
Or I am fairly sure Houston could do a ballistic mod on a p5?
Cheers

thanks so much.
I will look into the bonito. I read back 200 pages ago that the bonito was not big on the bottom end but then again it might have been the wrong pipe and manifold or tuning or clutch..

The bonito does not have the snap of a .25 or .28. But, the powerbands of the bonito and keepoff 7 are very linear and are my favorite truggy engines. The keep-off 7 feels just like the bonito, with slightly more power.

Also look at the Fusion engines. They are made by Novarossi.
Fusion X7
Fusion X5L

I'm looking at the Keep off 7.
what pipe and manifold ?..

Can anyone tell me what parts i need to replace during a rebuild of a 4BTTS? Its done about 10Litres. Any help would be greatly appreciated. The engine runs fine just want to pep it up a bit.

BTTS
 

It mostly just needs to be cleaned at this point.

If your keen you could do a rod change and I would definitely change out the
Front bearing and check the rear if it's not smooth change that aswell
Cheers

Any info on the new Virtus 7 port coming out?

I'm with these guys. 10 liters is good and broken in. You could keep on running it.

If you like to be sure, a rod change is always good insurance (especially if it was really tight at break-in) and a thorough inspection of the bearings with replacement if needed couldn't hurt.

in off road?

Yeah Houston.

I saw Adam Drake run a Virtus at Capital City Raceway. I am not sure if it was 7 or 9 ports. CLIP

I have a Truggy running Beat 4 engine with 9901 pipe and 41021 header. Would 2096 pipe with 41021 header be any different?
