Can anybody redirect me to a tuning guide on here for Novarossi's? I've got a plus 4 wc edition. Haven't raced since last summer and could use a refresher before I go out first time this year. Thanks!

What is the biggest difference between the Novarossi 21 keep off engines and the Virtus for a 1.8 buggy?

Does anyone know which 2 needle carb Adam Drake is running on his keep off in his buggy. A few of us keep off owners have been having some tuning issues with the 3 needle carbs.
Thanks

I have a p5 I am putting in my new buggy, I need to rotate the ball stud on the carb about 180 degrees what is the best way to do this, do I need to unscrew the needle at all?

Do not unscrew the needle. there is a 1.5 set screw opposite the ball. Loosen it up and rotate the ball to where you need it.

fuel consumption, as far as i know. it should be better performance too

Awesome, didn't see it there thanks

Picked up a CLIO P5 today. LHS was out of pipes and headers. What's a good combo for this engine? Local track is Gulf Coast Raceway in Porter, TX. Indoor, smooth, blue groove. I'm new to 1/8th scale so I don't know if it's tight or not. It only has 1 long straight section right now.

I love my Clocked Virtus from Neal at Clockwork Racing.just wish our weather would get nicer.

Started running in my hand lapped Bonito on Saturday, all I can say is "OH YEAH"

I don't know the track, but I run the 41021/2096 combo everywhere. There are some new nova headers coming out, I think the 41031 (??) might be the new header to try out, they say it gives more bottom and top end power.

Have a very odd issue with my old 2006 21-5 plus engine. It cuts out from 75-100% throttle. The truck has a brand new fuel tank, line and old kyosho fuel filter on it. The engine is just past break in on a pinch. I added a new con rod and advantage bearings to the engine. When installing the bearings I removed one of the shields on the bearing for the back facing side. I am running a 086 nova pipe. The low end tuned up with no issues and sits there and idles all day. I even swapped out carbs on the engine with a known good one and still has the same issue. I even went back to stock settings ( 5 out top and 3.5 bottom) still same thing. I also tried leaning in the top but still cuts out on the top, stopped at 6 hours in since it showed no signs of going away. It smokes like crazy and the plug is wet. 30% fuel and old OD99 plug. Any help would be appreciated.

with the engine still connected to the fuel tank and some fuel in the tank, take the HSN needle all the way out, turn the engine upside down and blow through the pressure line of the tank forcing fuel through the banjo fitting. You may have a piece if debris cloging the HSN, starving the top end for fuel.

Novarassi rex paloma combo
 

I'm getting the paloma+41021(long manifold)+9901(super strong pipe) to put into Serpent 2.1 buggy. Will this combo do well in small/medium/tight/wide open track?

Its a Bonito, it will do well everywhere.
I have 9901 on my bonito, they work great together and produce excellent mileage.
