Werks B5, Novarossi Elite 5, Alpha A852, etc.. Doesn't have to be some expensive Nova 7 port.. Especially for someone newish to nitro..

That's what I'd do. Those are all good ~$200 or less truggy engines.

Can you even buy a P5 anymore? I was sure they were discontinued.

A legend 7 should be around $250. I don't think that's considered expensive - especially not in racing.

It's not peanuts..(and racing is gratuitously expensive, much more than it needs to be...) Fancy clutch, matching pipe, and a few spare plugs and you're looking at 400 bucks..

Guys are talking about getting Elite 5's for $160..

An Argus or Alpha 23 would be another good option.. Rex at RW Mods sells'em..

I would say the same for Monty as well.. !

the big online stores cannot match our support or technical expertise, not even close ! and nitro engines are something that often do require technical support....

Its pretty close... after looking at a bunch of exploded views it seems like the Elite 5 is almost a cross between a plus-4t and a Clio. It's got the cnc domed piston like the Clio and the same 15010 crank as the plus-4t... which is also very similar to the 15007t, but just has a little more polishing done to the inside the barrel.

the Elite 5 has a team piston as well as the crankshaft has more intake timing as opposed to the P5...makes a little more power then the P5...

My $209.00 tuned version has the crank flowed as well as the sleeve plus a small increase in exhaust timing...... gives it a little extra zing that the stocker just doesn't have !

+1

Easily the best truggy engine for the price.... pair it up with an Ofna 053 and you have a killer truggy setup for well under the price of a lot of the Nova engines alone. Its really easy to tune also... ran it this past weekend at our last outdoor race and I barely had to mess with the needles all day.

You sell the elite 5 modded for $209? How would it run on an ofna 086?
