rc rock... i am the one interested for the GRP but i wasnt in front of the pc so i asked cypriotboy to make a thread for me
his nova is not by any means giving up...

i am thinking of their 12 Mario Rossi Tuned engine which i can get for only 230 Euros...

what do you think...
i am interested to know about durability and tuning...

thank you

Being a Rossi engine, it is of no less quality of any other Rossi engine (NovaRossi, Sirio), and therefore the durability is top of the line. All Rossi engines have very high standards and even performance is top of the line in most cases for engines straight from the factory. You will not be disappointed with this engine, my local RC store sells them and the 5 or so guys who actually saved up for them absolutely love them. The only thing you need to make this engine win races for you is an equalliy quality built car/truck and the driving skills to put that power to the road or dirt.

GRP .12 is a dog.....

if you want a much faster .12 then the tuned Nova look at the JL redot Picco, or the IDM .12......bot5h those motors will beat up the 2 motors your asking about..
