hi there i've being thinking about getting a max xxl3, i already asked in the max xxl3 thread and they said that the max was the best one even against the novarossi 3sct or 353, maybe they right, since the xxl3 it's a novarossi based one, but isn't it the 353 or 3sct with more advanced technologi than the xxl3. from what i've heard the engine manufacturer presume about their long stroke, from that point of view the 353 and the 3sct have longer stroke so i think that makes a better engine to those pure novarossi.
