Welcome to the CRE-Team Frank!

And I know Novarossi/Serpent USA is just as excited to have you on board.

Now you have reason to put up with Nick at the Nitro Challenge as he is your CRE-Teamate

Hey Neal have you gotten any of my emails lately? I sent you an email about the bonito and p5xlt. I know your probably real busy I just wanted to make sure you were getting them. Just let me know when ever you get time.

I need some opinions on which nova to get, the bonito or the p5xlt? I'm gonna be using it in mbx6t. I know they are both great engines I just wanna know if the bonito is worth the extra coin. What are your thoughts SAVAGESAM? I know you have both if em.

Hey there buddy

I did get your emails..I tried replying from the shop, but the internet was being funny....

The last 4 days I have been down with a nasty flu bug..... pretty much knocked me right off my feet...so I fell a couple of days behind in work, so today i was feeling 75% so John and myself locked ourselves in the shop and got a good chunk of work done.........

Well the Bonito is definitely a step up over the P5XLT........ Tho the Clocked P5 is extremely impressive the Bonito is something special IMHO...the extra long stroke and 7 intake ports gives it an amazing feel and powerband in the truggy...Its smooth, but ridiculously powerful and fast...

Yes it is actually..... better on fuel too....Tho don't get me wrong the mod Speed is really fast...but somehow I managed to squeeze more from the P5XLT

Here is a video of the Speed to show it is not a slouch in any way, it is actually a rocket.....Being a 5 port I have a little more room to work in the ports with the P5 as opposed to the Speed being a 3 port....Tho stock for stock a Speed is probably a fair bit faster then the P5 is...
