I'm curious about which engines racers are leaning toward running with the Novarossi's in decline. I'm USA based if it matters. Also, running .12 engines.

Although Picco can make fast engines, over the last years there were many complains about fast worn P/S sets. Over here I do see many OS and OS based engines. Now XRD has something new I expect to see some of them.

For .21 sized, the 2103 and 2104 are quickly becoming the standard.
For .12 sized, the 1202 and 1203 models are pretty awesome.
Wallace Motorsports is importing the Ielasi tuned SMJ and Max Power flavor of OS engines.
RC Target is importing Max as well.
Some of the best pricing for Factory OS is through RCMart.
I'm pretty sure someone is importing the VS Rody line but not sure who.

Max Power America (Drew Ellis) is the North American importer for the entire Max Power product line (engines, pipes, parts, etc.).

My understanding is that there is no such thing as a Max Power OS engine. Max Power engines 'were' Novarossi based but Max has acquired the machinery(from Novarossi) to take over this production for himself.

I really enjoyed the Nova engines during my nitro days. I started with the P4, moving to the P5XLT, Keep Off, Bonito. They were fairly easy to work on and run. Only issue was breakin. EBIS didn’t exist then.
Sad to see them go. To come back to Nitro, I just brought an Ison GT.
That’s me replacing bearings in a pinch for a teammate during a race!!

So it’s confirmed that Nova brand will be laid to rest? What’s the source of the info?

Is anyone encountering problems with their carbs coming lose to the point of falling off on their Mitos? I've had 2 brand new .12 Mitos that no matter how tight I have the carb, it still comes out. I've tightened the screw so much at one point that I snapped the head off of it. I'm also not the only one at my track having the same problem. There are about 6 to 10 people that have had the same issue in the last year. We have a very healthy nitro touring class and this carb issue is affecting a lot of the racers who are running NovaRossi Mito .12. The track is fairly smooth and I tend to run fairly clean so no hard crashes (if any) would be the cause. Anyone else having the same problem?

Any updates on Nova? I contacted some former employees and the responses are not encouraging. Either way, I brought some used and a new GT engine/Pipes. Lets see how this goes.
What company makes replacement glow plugs that fit Nova? I have used O'Donnell in the past and seemed to work. The company closed.
