No , that's too much , dont ever take anymore than just the copper shim out , recommend removing the .20mm copper shim out and replacing with .10mmm

Has anyone tried a P5xlt with a Losi Re-11 pipe? If so, how was it?

I did and thought it was horrible. I liked the 9853ss pipe the best.

just run my p5xlt and i want to change out the front bearing.
what do you guys recommend.
thanks

The novarossi 17011.

Well one of my local racers had me modify his Nova Plus 4....... Initially we fired it up and it was acting lean..so we richened it up, however we shortly realized the carb cinch bolt had not been tightened..LOL>..Anyways after tightening the cinch bolt we found the tune was way too rich.......Regardless of being too rich and cold the engine performed excellent....Here is the first run of the Clocked Plus 4, running at only 180 degrees....

+ YouTube Video

i will add that the all white buggy is a Losi 4S BL setup and the black and yellow is a Clocked B6

+1 great pipe with a -21 header all the way

i just picked up a p5 for my serpent truggy and i have a few questions.
1. the manuel isn't too clear on a break in method. i was wondering how others were breaking them in?
2. the manuel say to use 25% nitro. is it ok to run 30%?
3. i have either a jp3 or a dyn053 pipe. these are the pipes i have at the moment to run, which would be a better choice?

first off you will need to replace that front bearing very soon

checkout the break in bible , some good guidelines in there

yes 30% , throw out the manual

those are both decent pipesets but i would go with 053mr over the jp-3

i guess i will replace the front bearing after break in?

ya , replace with part #17011 from novarossi

i really wish they would ditch that bearing that they put in the p5xlt entirely , it is not good , the ONLY downfall to that engine but easily remedied , i pretty much do that on every p5xlt i sell

The 17011 is one sweet ass bearing!

and you luv a sweet ass dont you

Oh bouy

Evening guys. I'm running the Nitrotec in an rc8b. Probably not completely broken in yet (a little less than 1 gal). I'm having an issue with a soggy midrange. If I nail it from a stop, it pulls clean, and revs out good. But if I'm rolling on the throttle, like coming out of a sweeper, onto the straight, it sounds really rich, and doesn't RPM well. Low end doesn't seem too rich. If I pinch the fuel line it revs up and wants to stall in about 3 seconds. Again, if I pin it from a stop, everything seems great, it's only when I'm already slightly on throttle and the go to full throttle, sounds blubbery. Temps are around 250 after 10 minutes, smokes a little, but not excessive. Been running Trinity 30%and the Nova #6 plug it came with. Any thoughts? Thanks!
