The BX3 is a short stroke 3-port engine with a 13mm crank. It’s basically a 3-port version of the old BX21 series which came in 3, 5, & 7 port versions with and without the boost chamber.

I have my flame suit on, no pun intended here. Opening the floodgates of fuel.
What are we running in terms of fuel on the .21 off road engines? |

What are we running in terms of fuel on the .21 off road engines? Vp was good to me as well, I loved it, I decided to try Nitro pro last season and will continue to do so, great fuel, and all around performance from cooling to ease of tune and run times. thise are the fuels that I have used, all with 30% nitro 9 or 11% oil.. mainly in Nova, or nova based motors. |
Changing the screws
Sorry didn’t really go through the entire thread but was wondering if anybody has ever changed the Straight slot screws in the novarossi to say Allen head screws? And if so what kind worked for you? |
If you must

Hello, I have a little doubt.
The Novarossi Elite 5 OFF is a good engine to do only club races with friends at the weekend. In terms of low, medium and high range is good engine? In general terms the difference and a lot in relation to your older brother P5XLT, power and fuel consumption? |
The Elite 5 is a very very good engine. I have raced it here and palced it top 5 at our Norwegian cup. That is slightly modified tough. I have sold 10 of theese engines and evryone is very satisfied with this engine, modified or stock. Get the 41001 or 41005 header and the 2096 pipe. Maybe the new Hipexmade pipe is better, but i have not tested it. 41001/05 and 2096 is a well provencombo on this engine.

And because a lot of people like the engine and say it's good, I always like to hear other opinions, but from what I see it's a good buy. And a safe bet. Only Engine costs € 140 |
https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rct...f374e46da.jpeg Has anyone been running the MEPHISTO with any other pipe other than the 2135? If so what are your findings? I was told by a fellow racer who spoke with the guy from NOVADIRECT...... he said the motor can be run with other pipes , but it was designed to use 2135. For max runtime |
Would the Mantra be a good choice for a 1/8 truggy?
|
I know some guys have tested the OS pies with it because its a square stroke engine, and the performance was not there. I personally have run and tested the 2135 with the 41021 header and its a great combo. Same with the 9901/41021

Lots of good info on here . Just bought a Roma using a dynamite 053. I know its not the best pipe but it’s what I could afford. Anything is better than the stock losi pipe tho. I’m very new to nitro and just want to break this in right. I have ran 2 tanks at idle through it. Temps only at 160. The thing is spitting fuel out the exhaust like no other but novarossi says don’t touch the needles till after 10 tanks . It’s like 10 degrees f outside and inside the building I’d say its about 48 - 55 degrees f on a “warm” day but trust me its been colder in there. Should I lean the hsn a bit? Change plugs? For some reason I’m scared to touch the needles and mess it up. |

novarossi manual? lol the one page of broken english?
nova breaks motors in running them 32000-36000 rpm for 20-22 minutes at temp, not my first choice but its certainly a looooong way from idling. The tessmann method IMO is the best way to break in, I have yet to try ebis/oil bath motors but ive tried just about every other and it seems they all sacrifice longevity to get the motor ready to race sooner. cant say ive ever idled more than a tank on the box though |
