Seems someone made a decision of sorts.

If enough people suggest that it's permanently closed it'll be changed to that status. By the button "claim this business" being visible you can also see that Novarossi themselves never took ownership of that maps marker, so all info is completely based on user input.

Anyone ever use the 41020 ”long” manifold? I picked one up to try in truggy but just wanted to ask if anyone has used it and what your thoughts were and what engine and pipe you ran with it.
I’m thinking about trying it with a LS-5(P5) my buddy is giving me which will become my practice engine. I’m planning to try it with an Ofna 053 and maybe Ofna 086.
I run a Rolling with 41031/9853 and love the performance. I might try the 41020 on this as well.

Hope to hear some feedback.

Just 2 days ago I had a talk with Fenix Racing which is also an Italian based RC company and he also confirmed that even today due the Covid virus many companies are still closed.

Yup, but apparently people suggested that it's permanently closed (aka not coming back ever), a temporary closure due to covid is also something that's suggestable on google maps. Again, it's all user input, nothing official, because the business hasn't been claimed.

I would love to see them come back, I really would. But the level of noncommunication really makes it hard to believe.

What glow plug can I use in place of the ct06?

Ive heard the closest to temp is OS P4 runs a little hotter. Guy said he felt it gave him better idle.
That’s what I will switch to once I run out of 6’s.

They say taper is different so once you go to an os plug you can’t go back to a nova plug which won’t be happening anyway by the looks of it.

RW Mods has a youtube video about different brands of plugs and he addresses the OS plug in a Nova issue. He is a machinist and he says the difference in taper not significant enough to cause any issues. The biggest difference he says is Nova plugs thread all the way to the taper and OS do not. A Nova plug in an OS will bottom out before it has a chance to set in the head. OS plugs will seat in a Nova however. I recently looked all this up as I have no more Nova plugs and I love my Nova engines. Sucks they're likely gone for good.

And it is very easy to make Novarossi plugs fit in an OS or Picco engine, did do it last week. Just with an M8x0.75 thread tool going a bit deeper in the button head.

More 2021 models shown.....

Roelof 03-29-2021 01:12 AM

Also GiMar has just introduced a new 2021 Novarossi based engine.

Pedro Jesus 03-29-2021 11:44 AM

Does that mean Novarossi could still be producing engines and parts?
And you didn't actually no close the doors.?
