It was GONE Tuesday/Wednesday the week after the Race,,, DIDN'T even get a Single Club/Race night on it.


I worked my Butt off for the next couple days to get it back into shape for the final few days. Came together ok but No where NEAR as killer as the Finals weekend. Oh well Better to have it rain the week after the race then what they were calling for Sat/Sun on that weekend.


im lookin forward to laying down some laps with the Uber Fast MN guys come a couple weeks. im sure Josh is gonna be In love with that bonito, He like's power and that's the motor that will provide it. See ya in a couple weeks buddy.

I was Also wanting to see a Nice battle form behind/in front of me, I laid up a few jumps near the end to allow them to get Closer and Closer but pete has the tendency to Throw it all away at the Critical moments. Heck I also did it earlier in the race when it was a 4 car freight train and I decided to go big and well, it didn't exactly work out as planned.

who's coming to Arizona for the Nitro Challenge in February?

They are on their way Jeff, tracking number was emailed. Tell Josh to get ready for the weekend

Am I a Given or do I need to pre book my accommodations ?

Hey, I was there at the end!

5 gallons on the clocked b5 pro and still running strong!

I put in the nova 17011 this weekend and it ran great, IMO a very good upgrade for these engines (Or any other). When I took off the front werks bearing both seals fell off.

In case I missed it, have you done anything with the B2 yet?

yes I have done a modded B2...it worked good and will make a great small track engine.....The mod engine definitely has more juice then the stock version......

I finally gave in and purchased a 2058 pipe. I will throw it on the truggy and see

Hey Neal,

Got you PM the other day....

Need to give you a call tomorrow with a couple questions I have.

Hey guys i sent out a engine last friday.... Let me know when you receive it. Thanks

Hi Neal.

I was just wondering if you had posted a dyno graph anywhere for the Clocked Novarossi Bonito? I notice that you generally post these on your site along with the engines for sale, but couldn't find one for this mill. Just curious to see how brutal it is vs a Clocked B6

I have not tested the Bonito on the dyno yet.... I will do so this winter after some upgrades to the dyno.....

I can safely tell you that the Bonito is a total monster of a .21..Massive amounts of bottom end power...with the long stroke the engine has the bottom end like a .28...torque starts very low in the RPM range, unlike any other .21 I have run...... The engine is an amazing Truggy engine because of its heavy duty bottom end...However IMO it is just too powerful to be used in a Buggy....... If your looking for a Apex Truggy engine then the Clocked Bonito is the way to go....

The Mod B6 is a ideal buggy engine...powerful and fast..with a stout bottom, smooth delivery and a bashee like top end....... By comparison the Bonito is an absolute torque monster with bottom end unlike any other .21 I have run in all my years of nitro....

Hi Neal, thanks for chiming-in so quickly. I was curious because I'd seen Billy Easton & Robert Batlle running the mill in their buggies and was curious to know more about it. I was always under the impression that Nova engines were excellent on tune and longevity, but a little lacking in the oomph department, not to mention excessively spendy in comparison to other mills.
