Default Re: STS....NovaMax.....

Hey There.......

I have been racing gas cars for a number of years now, and currently run 2 NovaMax engines in my serpent and mugen cars.

The problem is the cost of these and Novarossi engines here in the UK.

At our british National meetings we have all day saturday practice and all day sunday racing, so our engines dont last too long, I probably run nearly 25/30 tanks in a weekend.

How would the STS range of engines compare with the likes of the NovaMax??

Can they be modified enough to be as fast, and also will they still last?

I am ready for a new engine soon and am thinking of a D5 or maybe 2 if they are good enough.

Thanks for any help you can give me guys, I have read through this post and the D5 sounds very good.

If you're constantly running NovaMax in that busy schedule (and can afford to do so) , why don't you give the D3 or D5 a go? Compared to the Max this engine costs nothing so you won't even notice where you spent that money. Considering that fact, you might be quite surprised with the performance after all...

A good place to order is rc-mushroom.com. They've recently got more spare parts for STS engines too...
