Been out of nitro for the last 5 years running ebuggy I got bit by the nitro bug again and need help picking out a motor. I have been looking at the Elite OFF5 , P5XLT and now the Paloma .21 Limited. I almost 100% club race just for fun, in Ebuggy I am usually Mid-bottom of the A out of 25-30 buggys. I guess where I am going is I don’t feel I need a $300 motor to be completive. So I am looking a motor that is reliable and makes good usable power. In the summer our track gets dry and slick. Thinking about picking up a new Losi buggy to put it in.
Thanks for any advice! |
Best mileage?
Of the selection on Novadirect is there a hands down winner on fuel mileage?

Same question but for all-out power among the 21's...

Header Thoughts
I have an elite8 in truggy. Currently using 9853 and 41001. Also have a 41021 and 41032 header. Thinking about trading the 41032 header for a 41005. Is that a good idea?
Can I change the flat head screws on engine out for hex screws? |

if your looking to detune the power then yes...a 41005 will make less power everywhere as compared to the 41032..but what you might see is better part throttle feel at lower RPMs..... If I remember right the Elite 8 likes the 41021 better then most so you should also give that a try

Anyone tried the Novarossi 4 shoe clutch? Any opinions on it would be greatly appreciated.
|
Guys are any of you aware if Avid makes engine bearings for the Legend 4? Thanks.
|
if i were to run 20% nitro would i be safe too pull the thinest head shim for a little more compression? elevation is 720meters if that matters
|
I have a nova plus 4....What would be a good pipe/mainifold combo for it? It's going in a NB48.3 if it makes a difference.
(And yes, I'm a nitro newb) |

Just got the Mito 4 for buggy. I have a 9901/41021 combo on it.. I want a lil more top. Do I need another pipe or header? I've heard the 9886 works pretty good.

Tuning question
I'm running the elite8 with 41001 and 9856. When I do a high speed pass or get so good speed and stop, the engine immediately comes down. However, if i gas it and let it coast, the engine gradually comes down...like its matching the speed of the car instead of immediately dropping. Is that what it is supposed to do or am I lean some where?

When you hit the brakes, its slowing the bell/clutch/flywheel enough to disengage the shoes.... |
Mito run time
I'm having difficulty finding any sort of decent fuel mileage out of my mito 4. The engine itself runs awesome and has good power and everything, however, the mileage is poor. With the 6.5mm Venturi I'm getting around 8 minutes. This weekend I had a short 15 minute race and pitted at 7:30. By the end of the race my tank had nothing left in it. This is coming from a guy who was running a clio p5 which got around 10 minutes. The pipe/header is 9901/41021.
