The CRF start out with a slow spool up that increases exponentially as the revs climb. The Nova's have a linear feel with the LL dropping just a bit in the middle compared to the LS. For me the consistent spool up speed made the LL & LS feel more responsive, consistent, & easier to drive.
People who throttle like a switch will have trouble with the Nova's instant high power response but those with better control will love the motor's precise feel through the powerband.

I've tried 3 engines where i race i have to say by far my favourite was my tz, i'd say mostly due that its modded extremely well but the main corners on the track require a very slow pace and then theres a straight the LL3 worked extremely well for this application as the power was just there straight away but i disliked how it seemed to run out of puff about 1/2 way down the straight, my dad also tried the engine, and he also runs a modded TZ now.
You can't fault a TZ, good punch and great top end, tickled a little bit its just stunning
