It's posted on rctech, so it must be true:D

First posted on liverc and also neobuggy, so it sounds like it happened.

The virtus look really good!!! I will like to know if it has more power than the bonito? Or more mileage ... First offroad crankshaft I see with 3 counter weights

I noticed the carb neck was moved off center a significant amount also! 3 needle carb and 3 weights in the crank makes me wonder what's up with all the changes.. I'm not a nova guy so I can't say if the carb is anything new but that carb angle change is deff to noticeable to have missed in the past. I have a hunch that 'PAT' printed on the carb neck refers to that in some way also.

The Onroad virtus 21 had that offset carb and 3 weight crank for over a year. Runs great so they've just rolled out the design to the 12's and offroad stuff now too.

So going on to 2 gallons with my 21-4btt and loving this motor . My question is simple now that she's broken in do I take a head shim out? And is the 2058 pipe the best combo for this beast kinda used what I had . Thanks

Most Nova's I have seen actually run better adding a shim. It depends on the track, vehicle,plug etc.

P5xlt is a great truggy engine.

I prefer to run Nova plugs, but you will spark up a debate when it comes to OS vs Nova plugs.

Your clutch setup looks pretty standard for truggy and should be plenty of low end to get that truggy going. Only part of your setup I've never tried is the re11 pipe, so someone else can chime in on how that pipe works with the p5.

Actually, Palmaris racing made an engine with offset carb back in 2004 or 2005 :-)

Very true but we are talking Nova's here! :lol:

hey guys I am looking to start getting back in to nitro and I saw this what they are like to the p5xlt NOVAROSSI BLOODY .21 Off Road 4 Ports Turbo

dan_vector 02-15-2014 03:01 AM

The bloody is part of Nova's new range of budget motors. It's not a patch on the race line motors. The P5XLT is a brilliant motor.
