EB Mods designed for Kinetic RC
 

Has anyone tried the 8 port EB Mods designed engine, from Kinetic RC. Nova builds it. . Thinking I'll try it as my next engine regardless, just curious how others have done with it.

Where can i get info on the mantra

No. Im looking to see if anyone has ran 1

Also here: MANTRA - NOVAROSSI WORLD

and i have not seen one on track...

...and nothing yet from our french friends either... they usually get hands on new mills fast!

I have run one, I need a little more time to let you how it runs. It has pretty good torque.

I am going to pick one up next month for my 8ight-t

Is cheap n I'm saving to buy 1 but i need feedback

Next month? Must be nice, might be snowing here next month. Haha

Anyway, I will prob get one in spring. What pipe and header you going to use?

Ah....

I've ran mines 1 race. It's has good punch off the Bottom for a buggy. Smooth middle and decent top. I still have room to lean out the top too. Good engine. I usually run os speeds and while it doesn't feel as powerful. It has enough to do what I need it to do. It's been reliable to boot. But it's only been 1 race and the breakin.

I ran one at our nats this weekend. Enigne is very nice. Smooth, good torque and consumption is good, pitting at 10:20 same as the OS guys. I could still have leaned it out slightly according to my glowplug. Top end is just a hair slower than the fastest OS speeds and on par with the Reds 7`s with better consumptions as they barly made 9 in the finale.
We ran on a farly large track. I ran it in a MP9 with kyosho carbon clutch and 2096 pipe and the 41001 header. Using the 41021 header will make it even smoother and the consumption slightly better, but will suffer on top end.
My engines was not modified in any way!

One bad penultimate,lap loosing 4 seconds after rolling ot behind a marshall blockig my wiew so i lost my line. Made me into hero lap mode and reeling in 5th place fast! Was driving at my limit and rolled it in the third last corner 10 feet behind 5th place. Evrything was just a hit and miss all weekend :-( Car was awsome and so was the engine, just not any bit if luck at all. A weekend to forget.


All in all i say its a nice enigne and i would recomend it :-)

Hey guys. Just getting back into racing and have a couple of questions about the P5xlt.

I have about 2.5 gallons through the engine and I'm gonna pull it apart ,check the crank and rear bearing and go ahead and throw a new con rod in it. It set for 1.5 years so it needs to be looked at.

What are the measurements for a worn crank? If the crank is too worn I'll just run it into the ground instead of putting parts into it. I ran it too rich for a while and it seems to have more wear than it should.

I will probably replace it with the new protek Euro pre-run because I hate break in.

Also my setup is a 41001/9886 SS in a truggy

Anyone have experience with the VIR-TUS , how does it compare with the Bonito?

This weekend at racing my engine seemed to have some extra drive into the corners as like in it's revs were still up and does not return properly. The linkage is all good. Typically my engines don't return to idle fast much after letting off the throttle and my idle screw is a little bit more in for the opening of the slide carb. I need to learn more this tuning.


But this weekend it was different with the cooler weather and after making some adjustments for more rich not sure it is leaning out perhaps an exhaust silicone gasket leaks at the header to engine or header to pipe muffler part.


Does this condition suggest a lean condition or sucking in of air somewhere on the motor/exhaust? Should I just switch to Nova Pipes?


I have Top Elite 8 with Jammin JP-2 hard anodized pipe set.

the hsn is too lean or idle gap is too big
