Hi Gavaust,
Which percentage nitro do you use in your fuel with your 4BTT, 25% or 30%?
Thank you
Fred

I've gotten Neal's opinion on the +4T vs. the +4BTT and he's pretty much convinced me to go the BTT route. To cement that decision I'd like to hear from anyone who has experience with both engines. If you could comment on the following differences in:
  • Performance
  • Maintenance
  • Tunability
  • Longevity

I know the differences may be minimal but I'm trying to justify the extra cost. Unfortunately cost is an issue because I'll be buying two engine/pipe combos and fuel from Neal at the same time...

Performance wise my BTT and Plus4T will be nearly indistinguishable from each other.... They will also tune exactly the same as they use the same carb........... However the BTT has ceramic rear bearing, Team piston and the dropped cooling head............. the ceramic bearing and Team piston add some extra durability to the engine.....

Default What cre engine

Ok I had a jerod tebow Orion engine in my buggy. I switched it over to my truggy. And broke the connections rod today and the thing has been heak to tune up to this point. Witch cre engine should I get to run in my truggy. I was looking at them and the two I have been going back and forth with is the nova p5 or the nova .28 7 witch one. I race pretty regularly. I want power but fuel mileage at the same time. As I am sure we all do lol. The Orion was a beast when it was running good. But those times where rare.

i would suggest the P5 over the 28-7 for regular racing.... My P5 is quite the beast and will make that Orion seem tame...........

Neal! P5...?

Bonito is the only option for Truggy IMO.

If his p5 runs better that the stock p5s on my two boys buggys I can see it being a monster. I have been noting but impressed with there p5s. They r running stock p5s with jp2 pipes. And they scream!!
