If you need torque then I suggest my clocked B5 https://clockworkracingengines.com/c...rk-werks-b5-21 , combined with the werks 2057 tuned pipe it is an amazing package.... Faster and more powerful then any stock engine you can buy, great on fuel, super easy to tune and an all around awesome engine.....Wehn you take this bab boy out on the track everybody will be asking what your running !

jammin JPX 21 or an Alpha orange head with the 0801 Alpha pipe, youll have more torque than you can handle.

no but the modfied werks engine by clockwerks would probally be faster. navorossi engines have earned a great reputation in the past for being extremely fast and quality engines but i have heard that some are a pain in the arse to tune. the works engine is new to me cause I race 1/8 truggy with my savage X I am more used to .28 size engines.

whats the gas miledge on that engine, as an engine modder myself I know changing port timings makes the miledge worse. which may be critical in a race. having to refuel alot. but a wicked fast engine can put you way out front with good driver skill so making a extra fill up may not make a difference at all.

Fuel mileage is very good on the modified B5.... We were running 6 minute qualifiers yesterday with one and after 6 minutes it had used slightly over 1/2 tank.... We were running against plus 4, OS Speed as well as a few V-Spec's and the modified Werk's used no more fuel then any of them..However the power and RPM difference was quite large, the modified B5 was easilly the strongest truggy engine at the track.... Truthfully you will not find a stock Nova that will come anywhere close to the performance of the modified B5, nor will the Nova's tune as easily.....The new 2010 Werk's engine have a fantastic carburetor that tunes better then any other brand I have run to date.... Excellent engines.... my driver TQ'd and won A-Main truggy yesterday with the mod B5......

sounds great! I love winning races. I havent ran in compitition for so long. I figured your modified Werks would run faster than the nova. I changed a couple port timings on my stock savage x engine and it really did respond well. Im nowhere near a pro engine modder. I know a change some timing but thats it. the reason i asked about fuel consumption is cause when I changed the timing on my F4.6 it was a monster but also the fuel consuption went way down. my losi 454 i will try some different things to see if i can get better miledge. anyways thanks for the response on my question...

I am the engine modder yes..... I also know Robin well, we talk from time to time........ The Nova's are nice engines, but they are far too smooth for my tastes... None of them have anywhere near enough bottom end for me.... I am more into engine that have some bite to them, and to date I have not seen a stock Nova that I would even raise an eyebrow over in terms of power.... Yes they are a quality well built engine, however I could care less if the engine is boring and flat......... The Werk's engine has fantastic build quality, fit and finish...it has a very punchy powerband and is extremely easy to tune, likely the easiest to tune race engine I have ever run....Its actually unbelievable how good the engine tunes...Even modded up to make big HP the engine is so simple to tune a caveman can do it......... IMHO the Nova's seem to be tuned more towards big open sweeping tracks with low grip as they do have great top end for the most part, but really lack that low end punch that I am used to.... on a high grip track with big short run up jumps a Nova would be the last engine I would look at.....On a big open Euro track they would be great, but for me they are way too soft for our style of tracks....... If your an expert driver that can carry high corner speeds you wont notice the soft bottom much, but if your like me , you need to have a strong bottom end punch to clear the jumps as I don't have the driving skill to carry corner speed like the pro's....The Werk's will clear any jump any time with next to zero run up, it has such a strong crisp low end that it allows you to slow down and square up a jump without the fear of landing short, in fact with this engine your more then likely to overshoot if anything..... Slow down and square up a big jump with a soft bottom end and you will have zero chance of clearing the jump...... A pro can make a soft engine look amazing on the track, however the average Joe is just going to come up short with a soft engine

the ofna 086 would probally match the novarossi's powerband alot better that the 053. the nova is a what I would call a peaky engine, it makes decent mid power but has a sreaming top end. </p>

well what I can say is that you have to check the person feedback, see if they got sales or trade reputation, usually on the ad forum they stated on the rank if they are trade plus something or market authorized member, something like that. Hope it helps. I never trade but used to purchase one on the ad and everything was ok.
