Tesla .12

Has anyone seen the Tesla .12 motors run? Are they any good?

From what I understand, they are just rebranded Max Power engines (Nova based, Max tuned), so they are bound to be good!

These are very good. Seen one going last weekend. It's a rebranded Max Power engine which is novarossi based but based on a couple generations back when novarossi's were very good. I believe it's also in a Rex crankcase.

Yes, the 12 and 21 engine based on Rex. I have 21 engine which using 7x19x6.3 very old style front bearing. But, the engine if fully hand modify include the crank case, crank, sleeve and piston top. Power is good and run time is good enough for 5 mins. I think the 12 engine is pretty same situation.

I'm running the .12 Tesla on my C03. All I can say is that this engine has a very good power band.
I reached the same lap time with rich settings on the Tesla as with the full race ready tuned Reds engine.
Temp. 90degrees celsius. ;)

Exactly. The older novarossi based engines that Fantini tunes are awesome!

So what do you think of your new Tesla Proe?

ProE	06-21-2015 12:07 PM

It's the best motor I spend my money on in a long time. I just had to go and order another one. LoL

I have heard the partnumber of the P/S set is the same as the N12T1/Sturm

Hi Roelof,

They are both part #8668 but the Tesla has MF (Max Fantini) behind the part number, and the piston is a different part number. The crank is different too.

The Tesla is hand modified after the parts leave the factory so until we time the motor we wont know what is different. The Sturm/N12T1 is already quite highly timed on the sleeve ports, The Sturm's crank is quite conservatively timed, quite possibly the case too.

The Tesla's performance has been excellent and it sounds mean too

It got a lot of work on crankcase too, although it based on cheap engine:D

It might be based on a cheap engine.;) but it runs like a very expensive engine:lol:
