Well its powerfull ok. Basically its the same with Novarossi 28 +3, the two differences are the cooling head and the carb. I e-mailed the Rb guys and they admitted the fact that they are the same but told me that this particular engine with the 3port sleeve works best with a 8mm carb,whereas the Nova has a 9mm carb with a 8mm restrictor.Other than that the Acer bearings are ok especially the front with no tolerances, and it sounds great with that pipe.

Yup Yup very nice, I like those IRC plates I have the anodised black ones, but those uncolored ones look great. Might have to get some.

heres my savvy 25.. got it about a year ago mostly all stock on ebay. came with cnc shock towers and arms. other than that it was all new. this is it 1 year later. ive put the x tvp's, roll bar, and electronics box on it. put in reverse, sealed the mill, 17mm hex hub upgrade w/ cvd's, dirt bonz tires, aluminum clutch shoes, vented clutch bell, 3 speed tranny, hitec 5955tg steering servo, hitec 5625mg for throttle/ brake, and a hitec 645mg for reverse. put in a spektrum rx, to go with the dx3s tx. there may be more things ive done but cant remember, she has been put up for the last 7 or 8 months. just got her out n dusted her off. she started up fairly well. i had put her up after installin the 3 speed, so i still had to set that, but after a lil playin around yesterday afternoon, i got her running fairly well.

Ya rcnitrohead is right- your neighbors love you.....a lot!! lol
by the way what gearing do you use cause your swifting sounds perfect. i got a 3speed tranny too with a high speed 3rd but when i hit the gas you can hear only the 3rd swift.
