I have been running Novarossi motors since the early 2000's in onroad. Sedan and 8th scale. I have always liked them. A couple of guys in my area have been trying to talk me into switching to OS.

I was able to accomplish the 8 minute qualifiers with the Keep-Off 21-4. My runs were around 8:00-8:30 plus the half lap to get to the loop to start and I made it back to the pits each time. So I was getting around 9:00 of runtime. The motor ran good, I was able to get a pretty decent tune on it. Made it through the full 30 minute main, pitting every 7:30 and no flameouts.
What is the procedure for checking bearings, and how long do they usually last? This engine now has probably close to 3 gallons through it. I was sorely disappointed in this engine the first couple of gallons and for 6 or so races, but it impressed me yesterday. Maybe I won't make the switch to OS after all.

I have modded a crank case so a non offset bearing will fit. It is very easy to do and will save a lot of money.

I think I've seen a thread on your mod. Definitely looks like a good idea if you have the tools. Probably a lot cheaper in the long run especially if you just use the $20 Avids or TKO's

I like your bearing conversion except your going to lose the magical performance gains that bearing provides

Can someone please help me select a new engine for my truggy?
From what I've been able to find out so far, I'm looking at a 7 port.
Either a Vir-tus .21, keep off 21/7, Mito-7Off or Bonito 21/7.
Wow, there's just way too many options!
I would appreciate any recomendations.

I would appreciate any recomendations.from the list you have. go with the Mito-7Off 41031 manifold and 9901. use 7mm restrictor and C5tgn plug. super easy to tune. runs great. i use Powermaster 30% nitro.
