the tuned is also modified, just not as extensively.... tuned has a modified crankshaft, enlarged exhaust port and some flow work inside the case..the full modified has overall sleeve timing adjusted as well as all 5 intake ports adjusted as well as more extensive crankshaft and case work...... The tuned was aimed to have noticeably more performance then stock but without getting into more expensive and time consuming timing modifications....

At that price I'm thinking about getting one to throw in the box as a spare. Probably going to run the reds r7 evoke as the normal racer. Would the elite 5 perform better on the ofna 086 or the reds 2104 pipe

ICYMI: Novarossi prices plummeted at absolute hobbyz. Not sure if it has to do with them importing directly from Novarossi or what. As well, Amain is set to work with novarossi USA directly. Wondering if this is because of pricing?

Anyways, the price of a keep-off just got STUPID cheap.

just got back from the track w my new elite 5 hehe...

spent the last 2 days breakin her in, she got to see dirt for the first time today
continued my breakin process w a 9901/7mm/41029 for a few tanks just cuz i wanted a comparison.
switched over to a 2096 and a 021/8mm restrictor and omg this thing friggen rips!! night and day difference over the 9901/7mm. not even fully broken in yet, still has some pinch but im already amazed. best engine for your money right now imo bottom/mid is amazing- havent been able to really get on the top end yet but so far so good. im also running a buku clutch, komp shoes, 1.5,1.75,2

We lowered the prices because the margins to the customer were insane from previous importers. Nova did not change their quality of the engines. So now we help the consumers by making it affordable to have the best engines on the market.

Interesting. I saw you guys are now personally importing them - but then Amain signs a deal with novarossi USA?

Very interesting.

Your flash banners on the site indicate you are a distributor like its a new thing. So to me distributor means selling to the shops. For Novarossi you are selling to hobby shops for resale as the channel too?

Just a question on that.

Anyways:

I got a new Top Elite 8 and thinking of the Mito 4 or 7 as another motor. This would be for a buggy.

I previously ran the Rex P5X 2005 production motors.
