I have a brand new CX15 but have nothing to put it in. All my cars are 1/7 and 1/8 scale. Can someone educate me on this engine? when I bought my Scorpion XXL it was at the bottom of the box.

Anyone know someone that's interested in an engine like this? If I could sell it to someone who will actually put it to use that would be great.

.15 are legal race engines for the 220mm Sports GT class in the UK maybe someone here would have it?

If anyone wants to make an offer on it I will get a spot quote on the shipping. Message me for details.

Is the new MitoC a step backwards?

It depends.... The MitoC is Flash based.
- 14.5mm crankshaft
- normal 14.5 x 26 bearing
- no offset carburator mounting
- bore x stroke: 16.2 x 16.8

Most say the xtra long stroke engines do perform well but in the hands of most drivers I think the MitoC is nothing different. I think they will be the cheaper engines and for sure cheaper in maintenance.

need to change the rear bearing in my keep on 12. Is there a special adapter for the Hudy bearing puller?

I use KM bearing puller

No, it's just a different design philosophy, I don't think there is any real performance disadvantage in the slightly shorter stroke and centralized carb.

I think this is what drivers want from Novarossi, an engine that is cheap to maintain, doesnt use the odd "patented" off set bearing, and is fast.

Novarossi are probably just listening to their customers a bit more, which isn't a bad thing is it? Nobody wants to have to use a $100 bearing in the rear you can only source from one manufacturer.

RB did the same with the CXR SLS9 V2 went back to the standard ceramic bearings.

Does anyone know of a good source for a piston/sleeve/rod combo for a novarossi 353 race .12 engine?

Hi,

I have 3 novarossi engines, n want to know which will give me more power or performance ( only using mugen for bashing at the moment)

Ison .12
353 .12
12-3 sct

All engines are stock

Will appreciate any info. Thanks

Can someone please tell me the difference between the virtus .12 and the mito .12?

From what i can by comparing parts is the head/button and crankcase are different due to the mito only having 4 engine screws and the virtus 6.

also is there a tuned version or are the only versions steel bearing or ceramic bearing?

Thank you

There all very much the same engine so it will come down to which is in the best condition.

Cheers, bout to race bunch of mates using 4tecs, and various .18 powered 10th scale on road cars,
Just bashing in a huge car park

Roelof,

Are there any timing differences in the sleeve between the Virtus 21 and the Mito 21?
