RE: what engine do I have??
looks like a RexBR21SBk to me
scroll down its near the bottom on this page [link=http://cvrccc.esmartguy.com/Eng.html]HERE[/link]
Rex is just a rebranded Novarossi made by Novarossi but sold under the Rex name in some parts of the world due to contractual agreements
see also Top engines (same kinda deal)
the power output will depend if its a 3 or 5 port
see info for figures
you can also see the different novarossi engines on the main site [link=http://www.novarossi.com/content_uk/home/index.php]HERE[/link]

its the 5 port, any idea were to get a piston and sleve for it? also can any one sugest a CHEAP starter box from towerhobbies?
also the tube didn't come with it, is it ok to use fuel tubing or do I need a special kind?
any sugestions on carb settings?

RE: what engine do I have??
dude its basically a Novarossi
any Novarossi dealer should be able to help you out, failing that have a nose through the engine specs on the novarossi site & order a liner/piston from an engine that has the same bore & stroke

RE: what engine do I have??
don't get a cheap one, you get what you pay for. I suggest a OFNA Chrome top or something like it. I have the 8ight bump box and it works just fine, but then again, i have an 8ight buggy

The top one. Blue on the bottom and Chrome on top. I have one and it improved my RC experience 1000 percent. Don't forget the gell cell and the charger. It's not the cheapest, but you'll spend more time driving and less time trying to start the engine.

Actually, you probably should forget the gell cell. Skip it, and opt for a pair of standard stick packs. Lighter, more powerful, and overall just better.

I was going to do that anyway,

RE: what engine do I have??
Ok I think I will go with this one, does anyone know if a gell cell will fit in it or only stick packs?

Stick packs only last for a few starts and then need recharged, a gel cell lasts an extremely long time.

i race abroad quite a bit & the restrictions on baggage weight rule out a 12v gel cell [:'(]
if i had a really heavy starterbox i'd have to leave something at home & when you're away you need as much stuff with you as possible

I have that box and if you really modified it, you could fit a 12v gell cell in it. But you would REALLY have to modify it, so I'd say no. Just because you would loose you option of running stick packs. Peace.

RE: what engine do I have??
I use the OFNA truggy start box (10244) and two of [link=http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_info.php/cPath/1_221_224/products_id/20993]these [/link]. The batteries are cheap, but they last quite a while and start my nova N21 no problem. I would wait until you have a bitt more $$ to spend, you'll be glad you did.

The Chrome top box is great, you won't be dissapointed. Starts my Mamba no probs. Mind you I use a gel cell cos they really do last a long time.
Never tried with stick packs.
