Dunno the truth behind this one but that's the skuttle-butt going around.
Don't know about the story, but the Nitrotec is a sweet little engine! It is really just a nova P3XLT though.

any of us can buy 1 speed engine and a extra P/S/R set w/bearings for the same it would cost for 2 blue heads. Now the 2 blue heads I'd get maybe 7gallons if im lucky for a total of 14 gallons between the 2, then they go in the garbage.
That 1 speed and parts i will get about 16-18 and have a better, more reliable, faster engine. my 0.2
Wise man!
Speed can be found online for around $400 from Hong Kong retailers. P?S?R combo can be had for $150 on ebay.
