Is this true? Or speculation?

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

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

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.

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 :-)

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.
