Yep found the problem the front bearing was basically solid, It was the double seal one to... never seen that but even trying to move it with pliers was hard and knotty.... I had a new bearing on hand put it in and the Nova was back to its glory.... The nova Bearing hardly had any grit or dirt in it defiantly strange if it was full of muck i would have said ok but the crank and rest of the engine has no signs of grit going through...

Like i said to a few guys here we must have peeved of the RC Gods with the spate of luck we have been having just of late, Hope its all behind us now...
