Best Novarossi replacement egine for Losi 8ight T
After running this Novarossi i put in my XXL today (just a break in) i noticed the quality is just second to none, the temps are so consistent and it's just a far superior engine, i am no longer going to run stock engines in my RC's so im looking for a good Novarossi to replace my stock 454 in my 8ight T.. I think placing another .28 in my 8ight T would be a little ridiculous, what are my options with the Novarossi engines and what has worked well for you?
I wasn't sure where to post this so i posted it here.

Maxy's Cinco BT. Pair it with a 2096 pipe and 41021 header. You will not regret it. http://www.vpprousa.com/engines.html...category_id=85

There is a local kid here that races for Losi and he mentioned the .25? Said thats what he runs. Would that restrict me to a class? I didn't get to ask him all the questions i wanted to ask as i started thinking more after we got off the phone. There is a new track opening next month and i want to start racing there.

The .25 he was talking about is Novarossi's Roma and that is one beast of an engine but its not cheap. I paid $610 roughly for on modded by CRE and with a ceramic rear bearing installed and had them do their break in service. Some places will restrict you on classes if you don't run a .21 I would check with your local track first.
Also, if i buy say a Roma or even a P5, break it in and get to the track and notice several of the faster guys are running modded engines, can i still have it modded after break in?

Thanks man, he said he will be racing the new track with that engine but i will call and make sure before ordering. Do you think a bone stock p5 or Roma would keep up if some of the guys are running modded? I know being a good wheeler makes a big difference but..
NOPE!!
