Your awsome!!!!

P5 is a great engine, and will serve you well. If you have the mony, you might also consider the a Lucky 7 standard engine. It is the same engine as the P5, but it has a stronger piston that will last a bit longer than the standard P5.

They are on sale at absoulute Hobbyz now, so you can make a good deal i think.

I run Lucky 7 enignes here in Norway and try and sell them. They are good engines, but they slip under the radar. I just wanted to tell you that i sell them and could be biased. I do not want People to think i just advertice for someone without telling the Whole story. I will probebly go back to Novarossi Keepoff engines as soon as i am out of L7 engines as i have the possibilety to get back to Nova.

Best of Luck!!

Anders

The track he races on is pictured below. We live in the midwest so it gets very hot and humid as well. He needs excellent bottom end power but still needs to have great top end performance. I have read so many conflicting posts that I figured I would just ask everyone for help.
Thanks!

Monty has you covered here. Can't go wrong with his advice.

There are ways you can order which cut break in time in half , let us know if any of us can help you out
Funny thing is, my parents were just as heavily involved with me when we raced go karts. I got in to RC mainly to have something I could do on my own without them

You. ROCK.

I think this is the last question for now,
I have a 2096 fitted to my BTT with a Ninja JX14002 L-type 21-B manifold, does anyone now which Nova manifold is the equivalent?

Thanks,
Michael.

What carb settings y'all running on a Roma? Mine is very new and no where near the 2 gallons Novas take to break in .. So how can I only get 7-8 minutes and Drake got 15?

The engine will get better mileage once fully broken in. I also suspect being 'very new' you're running on the rich side. What size carb restrictor are you using? Also which tuned pipe?

FWIW 'The Drake' has quite a bit more throttle control compared to the mortal racer. In addition it would not surprise me he ran a small restrictor and the engine fairly lean to obtain such a number.

Yeah I know it's new but setup help would be nice
I got the stock 6.5 mm restrictor
9901 but was thinking an 086 to take the bottom end
Thought 9901 was fuel mileage pipe tho?
I also got 053, jp3 , 2013, 2041 or Losi re10,re11 and OS 2060,2070
It's on a 8t 2.0 with 2 carbon 2aluminim green- gold respectively
Maybe a 2084 pipe I was told?

If you figure out how to get more than 8 minutes out of the Roma let me know. I'm running the 9886 pipe with 41001 header and get 8 minutes .It runs awesome and if I can pit at 7.30 I'm happy. I geared it up to a 14 tooth clutch to help tame it down some but this thing screams on the straight.

I averaged 9:10 to 9:25 last month at the Tilityard for the Roar Region 2 race series race. My Roma was at maybe 3 quarts of run time when did a few timed runs. This was with the 2084/41021 combo on 6.0 restrictor in 811T with OEM clutch (4 alum shoes-med springs) on 30%. Needles were not at a full race tune...a touch rich.

Personally I love the sound of the 9886 no matter what engine I've used it on. Unfortunately I get lower mileage so I rarely use it anymore. But wow...engines sure sing on top, nothing like the wailof the 9886. FWIW I have not tried the 9886 on the Roma, only the 9901 and 2084. Compared to the 9901, my 2084 gave better fuel mileage and feels smoother across the power band. I would like to try the 2096 on the Roma just have not gotten a chance to do so.
