Was I wrong About This Engine/Brand? (Part 1)

[@LawrenceTimme]

Just shows how important matching the pipe and engine is. There were way too many unacceptably issues, but at least you were able to get them all resolved, despite the inconvenience.

[@thenitronation5815]

Yes indeed

[@muggymaniac]

Fyi any good quality engine will run with any pipe weather it changes bottom mid or top performance it doesn't matter, how do I know because all 30 plus engines and pipes I own says so

[@RCWright]

Very interesting indeed, I was excited about these when they first came out but glad I have held off so far. I believe they have new revisions out now so hopefully all is ok

[@thenitronation5815]

I was exited too but not so much anymore. They are a power house though when running right. I have the newest version in my hands. We shall see how that goes

[@nitro-rc6241]

@@thenitronation5815how are they a few months later?

[@TastyBRC]

First batch issues but for these Nova guys all defcets are 'normal', just run it like that.. Im very curious about the latest versions but dont want to give them my money. There is a chance I will be testing a friend's new nova soon. I agree about the power though, they are very impressive

[@a2rc]

LoL Tasty. Yeah I agree, if you can try someone else’s first before buying yourself, it’s always a plus. - I really hope that NOVA learns from all the issues so that, when they release their 2.1cc engines, things go a lot more smoothly. - I am looking forward to picking one up when they are released so, fingers crossed 😅

[@thenitronation5815]

I have the latest and greatest in my possession and it’s not much better

[@a2rc]

Nice work on the vid and also appreciate you telling your story. - All manufacturing has issues and I am sure NOVA had some challenges getting everything worked out. I’m glad you stuck with it. Hopefully, when they finally release their 2.1cc engines, they learn from all their previous issues. Hopefully… Thanks for the vid 🩷

[@muggymaniac]

Fyi it's tight because of crank being pressed in

[@thenitronation5815]

You might wanna re think about what you said this makes my head hurt.

[@stankovic7150]

Take glowplug off when pulling off button head, it create vacum and can be hard to pull off

[@thenitronation5815]

It might if the ports were closed

[@tonysands2837]

Wow bro I’m so sorry you had a bad experience this is just not excitable from you and tasty b I’m by not looking at getting one There quality control is just not worth it here in Australia 🇦🇺 we don’t have service that can just send new parts for their stuff up ? 😢 very frustrating and disappointing they are just using the name to get people sucked in thanks for your opinion I do take my hobby seriously and appreciate your honesty just will not waste my money

[@thenitronation5815]

Yeah, very unfortunate like the came good for the issues but than the thing was laid up all summer waiting for parts. But when running good it was impressive

[@muggymaniac]

I told when I did my homework and investigation I found out that those nova engines are coming from China so my ? Was why because there designed partially in Italy but manufactured in china no bueno again thanks for your on camera honesty so thus far Nova and gilmar are junk and you saved me 1,000 dollars because that's what I would have spent on a nova.24 Wich is no bueno and 400 on a supposably modified.28 9 port gilmar novarosi knock off well lesson learned don't buy novas or gilmar just sucks balls that it was at your own expense great video once again and muggy is coming back and I will expose those junkers you know me the truth shall set nitro free again 💪

[@tonysands2837]

Can’t agree more brother if brought the gilmar modded crank for my 28-8 Rex an blew the conrod in l ok ne tank shit products appreciate you bro can’t wait to see what you come up with 🤜💯

[@ZingZingNZ]

And they are so over priced in New Zealand our importer is 50% the rrp

[@tonysands2837]

@@ZingZingNZ yes I saw that it seems to be we always pay more for it over this side of the world 🌍 🤜💯

my savage x4.6 trasmistion the first set screw came out the holds the two speed how do i put it back in . if i need to take the transmition apart i need to bring it to hobby store i cant do thats please responed

[@thenitronation5815]

You will likely have to take the transmission apart

[@allaspectsrc4178]

Great video bro I always learn something 👌🏿 What u think of the mantis engines

[@thenitronation5815]

Never heated of them honestly

[@mattozx6rr]

This saddens me. I ran Novarossi engines in my truggys 12 years ago and they were top of the line for me. Never liked the temperament of OS engines. Looking to jump back into racing truggys. I think I'd rather deal with the OS engine after seeing all the bad Nova reviews.

[@thenitronation5815]

Definitely hit or miss. My first engine was junk but the replacement engine is great so far

[@hpiedsavageed7608]

how are you liking the routh endbleed pipe?

[@thenitronation5815]

I’ve run it once so far and in the snow so kinda hard to tell I definitely like the sound though

[@Rsvmick1]

Dude. Please go and watch some Adam Drake engine rebuild videos. You need to.

[@thenitronation5815]

Alright?

[@kawicepticon8866]

The B5r rips 100%, buttttttt my boy has broken 2 rods and ruined 1 piston clip thus eating the piston all in 2500ml with his B5r . He knows what he doing too and runs top quality fuel. I run some modded Nova as well and I recommend installing a Novarossi rod or even better the Max Power rod. I run the Max rod in my modded G5r . Side note the Nova cases are an old RB mold the SLS Di5 to be exact ..lil food for thought .

[@thenitronation5815]

This is some real good info. I did notice a lot of similarities to novarossi/ rb engines

[@MrGapE46]

Ich habe einen Nova B3R und B5R. Es gibt Probleme mit der DLC Beschichtung. Diese ist schlecht ausgeführt. Ein Motor hat einen DLC beschichteten Kolbenbolzen, einer nicht… die Klemmung am Anfang ist die Hölle. In einem Karton fehlte der Vergaser O-Ring… Diese Firma hat nichts mehr mit der guten alten Novarossi zu tun. Den B5R habe ich verkauft und werde kein Produkt mehr bei Nova Engines kaufen. Bei den Preisen nehme ich lieber einen OS Speed. Da weiß ich dass die Qualität stimmt.

[@thenitronation5815]

100%

[@muggymaniac]

Bottom line and moral to the story is there qc is 💩💩💩💩

[@henriksrensen3220]

So many problems with these Nova engines. I will not be buying one. Will get a FX 301

[@muggymaniac]

Sorry bro but nova is full of crap again I would never buy a nova engine it's not even dlc coated it painted lol! 💩💩💩💩
