Hi guys,

I have a new Novarossi Plus 12-3SCT Tuned engine and am tossing up which pipe to install. The track I race on is small, tight and twisty so I'm deciding whether to buy an O.S. T-1050SC L52 (which is supposedly suited to the lower rev range) or a Novarossi 51610. Any suggestions? I'm happy to hear other brand/pipe suggestions to go with my engine as well.

Cheers,
Mick

Has anyone tried this motor? Would you recommended it for a novice, on road touring?

I was wondering if Novarossi will be dropping the Top line of surface engines and just keep the marine line going? :weird:

Yes, that engine is suitable for your application. It'll be easy to set and have plenty of power for a novice! Good Luck.

The Sturm is previous known as the N12T1. It is no winner on large races but in the hands of an advanced driver it can differ a 0,2 up to 0.4 second a lap compared with the fastest motors.
For sure for a clubracer an ideal motor.

Just bought a .12 Keep On, it's been quite a few years since I've had to run in a .12 (been running offroad for the last 4-5 years). Running in the engine doesn't pose a problem, but how long do I expect it to take? I've just recently run in a Bonito .21, but it was hand lapped prior so run in was relatively quick.

Looking forward to hitting the black stuff with this engine bolted into my new Mugen MTX6 Tourer

Novarossi motors are very tight and can take a good 3/4 of a gallon or more to fully seat in. Depending on your method of break in of course however most come to full race potential in that general area. Its been a while since I have broken in a .12 but the one I did a while back came to power quicker than my .21s.
