Hello everyone I had lrp's and a picco and probably just picked up a picco 28 boost this Friday and I got another 30x spec to on layway. The next motor I would like to try after I get these is the novarossi 7 port has anyone ran these motors and what's your thoughts on them
 
Hands down my favorite... I own 5 of them and get a smile on my face every time I run 1 of them.

i have a 28-7rt. awesome motor. just as strong as a stock picco. nice craftsmanship. italians do RC good!
 
I recently got a P5 (clocked) for my D8T but have yet to really form an opinion on it as I've not had enough run-time. With that, I'd say that Nova's are the most recommended engine I am aware from a racing perspective, so that goes a long way with me.

I just ordered a Bonito (http://www.amainhobbies.com/product...oad-Engine-w-Ceramic-Rear-Bearing-Turbo)..not sure what I'll put it in yet, but I'll find something (or that is my excuse for a new kit). ;-)
 
The engine will be going into a savage and i want the most power i can put in it.I'm not racing so I'm not worried about fuel mileage. i also have a losi eight 2.0 i would love to up grade the engine in it to with the same aspect.

What pipe are you considering with the 28-7 on your Savage? I'll be curious as to what you think of the Nova compared with the Picco. I've never seen a Picco in person, but have read tremendous things about that as well.

What engine are you running in your Losi right now? We have a 2.0 with a Werks B5/086 and have been happy with it. Only thing I'm working through is an RPM lag on it--but I have the clutch sprung up too much. Also not very happy with the 086 pipe, so going to put a 2013 on it.
 
I don't have the novarossi wanting to get sum input on ot first and for the truggy I just got the stock 454 in it.i just want the meanest motor I can get lol and that is dependable. My savage is a xl that I converted to 2wheel drive by taken the diff out in the front along with the axles of corse and so the bulk head up front is completely empty and I took the diff out back and put 100,000 weight in it to make it more like possi the thing rips just like a sport quad it's very surprising. I will be building another xl in time I have all the parts and that one will be 4 wd. As for the truggy's they will be up for option tad well just haven't got that far yet lol.

Cool. I imagine at some point I'll get the 28-7. It was a toss up between the Bonito and the XZ-B Spec II, but O.S. has been hit or miss for me so hoping I really like the Novas.
 
Send that picco to Robin at ERCM and youll have more power than the savage can handle!

Seen vids on that Bonito? Sacry fast .21. Robin and Neal have told me that it puts down power like a .28. Long stroke motor. If I raced, that would be my choice.
