Drake Novarossi
 

Hi all:

Seems like most of you are onroad racers. However, I am hoping you can help with an offroader question.

I have a Drake Edition Novarossi in my offroad truck. It's a side exhaust motor and the port timing is perfect for gas truck. However, since Trinity no longer imports Novarossi, the motor has disappeared.

Is this motor still manufactured by Novarossi but distributed under a different part number?

If not, does anyone have any contacts where I can purchase new motors, pistons, and sleeves for this motor?

Thanks!

hi guys, what is the performance of hte RR12L3 like compared to the NS12S3. which one is the faster motor, and which one lasts longer? thanks!

i did ask a LHS ...and he told me the main difference was :
RRL - more torque
NSR- more high speed

:cool:

The RR is a long stroke engine with a smaller bore. I have both engines and the RR has a massive amount of torque.

I got my best times with this engine. You have to gear up to get the top speed in the straight but this doesnt affect the low end power as it has it in spades

Cheers

Small track RR12L3. Long track NSR.

The one you run in the best and run cooler will last the longest

Cheers

Hey Ziggy,
Where can I find some set up sheets for the fw05r
Thanks

Re: Set up help
 

I just read through the forum and see what everybody is using

Gold springs on the rear with upright shocks
Black on the front laid down

35 weight oil in the shocks

Lots od droop on the back 2mm at the front

2 deg toe in at the back 0 at front

Hope this helps

Cheers

Thanks Ziggy but I'm after some actual set up sheets

ziggy is correct

RR long stroke small bore ns short stroke large bore,

rr more torque less rpm .

I read it backwards from there web site .

Re: Drake Edition Novarossi
 

Well, you have a problem there, because that engine was an exclusive product for Trinity. The new distributor for Novarossi, I understand is Mugen Racing USA, but the engine they are offering for off-road trucks is this one

http://www.mugenracing.com/mtseries.htm

It is a long rod Mugen MT12 redesigned for off-road trucks, but it is a rear exhaust engine.

I would suggest you contact them.
