hey my dude! how you doing! Welcome to the channel, I see you're a new SUB, thanks for being here. I've grown to love this Novarossi motor, it's a budget model, but still great, you're totally right..
I have a hpi 4.6 pulse buggy. With a 4.6 high output engine it's collecting dust in my shed. You wure killing me when you wure talking about that losi 8 buggy. A os v spec engine would definitely make that buggy move. I really don't blame you for not being crazy with mods. Sometimes just nice upgrade engine is all nitro needs. Keep staying positive your humor and upbeat attitude is what this hobby needs
hey brother! Thanks so much for that info! Always happy to learn some thing I didn't know! This is my first Novarossi after-all you know.. Makes sense now, im honestly surprised nobody in the stream pointed that out. Thanks again!!
Looks good! I need a bigger garage so I can have some fifth scale in my life. This is exactly the kind of quality and detailed features I would be keen on. And right price too. Thanks for a high quality overview. The camera quality is insane
ooo man, we got a retro celebrity in the house here, HENRY FORD! lol. JK. Thank you dude, I will be running this thing soon, and we will check it out for real, out it the NitroGang world!!
After watching your Serpent SRX8 nitro RTR video, I found a new in the box a first production SRX8 nitro RTR kit on eBay and it’s like yours too it has the White rear wing and the Orange Novarossi World Champion .21 pull start the seller started the Engine Break In and ran 1 tank of fuel on a RC Car stand and after the 1 tank he gave up and put the kit away he never ran it outside at all it’s brand new with Box and all of the accessories. I wanted to switch out the .21 Novarossi and install a Novarossi .28 Legend Blue Head rotor start engine, But after talking to Mr. Rick of RC Mods he said he could finish the engine break in and install Front & Rear ceramic bearings plus modifying the engine for Insane Speed and install a Back Plate for bump start, Rick says he could modify me a Beast of an engine with insane power and speed. I don’t race at all. I am all about straight line High Speed Runs. Looking forward for Rick’s modifications on the engine and see how fast I can push the Novarossi .21 World Champion engine. Rick is also breaking in and modifying a O.S. Speed .12 T1204 for my Team Associated 1/10 nitro NTC3 it should a Road Rocket after he is all done with it . I enjoy all of your Nitro RC videos and also impressed on how many nitro cars, buggies, monster trucks, too many to list but you have them all .👍👍👍👍🍺 Do another video on the Serpent SRX8 RTR especially if you install another .21 or .28 nitro engine. Thank you for all of your expertise on Nitro on and off road kits .
Happy new year to you nitro gang wishing you many more lol two speed baby and three speed thanks for sharing very information blessed love to all knowledge is power hopefully everyone pays attention keep up the good work still have plenty of nitro cars and trucks need to break in let me know when you’re ready 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
I have been looking at the Losi, the HPI WRC, but I think I am gonna go with the Serpent SRX8 . I like the Losi but how long will parts support be there, the Serpent is new, I found all the Kit upgrades cheap, and I have never tried a Serpent. I am thinking it's time
All Novs have the same HSN and LSN baseline settings which is even with the housing so the HSN should be even with the brass housing. I know you have a starter box, I can show you where to get the low engine mounts for cheap, unfortunately there is no backplate for this engine but you can use the box with a pull start. I have the newer version of this, I haven't had a chance to break in the engine yet. The cheapest easiest throttle return spring are girls black hairbands, you get them in bulk from Wally World for a couple bucks I get mine at the dollar store
Maybe in the future you could get a long tube from the exhaust out of the vindow. By the way,the needles on my novarossi had to be a little bit over flush when new. Had it for years now,and still just a little bit under flush on high speed needle. It has been a great engine all the time. I love it.😊
Love your sweat shirt bro. I received a reply from someone. Wanting a screen shot of something on WhatsApp. over the reply you left from Monday night nitro. It's a blast to hangout with you & the nitrogang. making nitro great even in Minnesota. NWO for life.
hey my dude! what's going on! I've had some face accounts trying to impersonate me recently, I've gotten that account removed since, but now tons off ppl think I use WhatsApp! that's the most annoying part, being associated with a cam whore account from parts of the world which are less than SAVORY! lol. JK. Always, NitroGang!! I dont use whats app!
Great video you have some really cool Rigs I am also a Serpent Fanatic I think they make the best RC vehicles . Will the Serpent SRX8 RTR nitro accept a .28 engine using the stock engine mounts ? 👍👍👍🍺
I'm late to the party but I notice all Revo 3.3 pics have tons of smoke, unlike the slash pics you commented on. Also they referenced taco bell. I think CA mag are fans of the channel 😁
I don't think there's anything wrong with the pull start, I believe the edges of the drum are catching on the outside case. that is eliminated once pullstart is attached to engine and held centered by one way bearing. I've had Pull starts do that before when off of the engine because tolerances are tight Between the drum and case.
hey buddy! thank you for the comment, and you're honestly not wrong! In this case I assembled it back onto the motor and you saw it was still having a hard time recoiling back. Once I put some wd-40 into it, it became terrific! IDK if you saw that part, but it's 100% great now! You're mostly right otherwise, in many cases you do need that one-way to balance it out.
with some Taco Bell, I should have gotten that ahead of time! ahah! Thanks for watching bro, glad to have you here!!! Im currently setting the fail-safe on the serpent buggy! then it's gonna be really sickening!>.
I need your advice I have the Radiolink RC6GS V2 with the R7FG with gyro I run 7.4v rechargeable battery in my truck hpi savage x4.6 is what it started life as then went to three speed and Losi 454 and now it's got the new LRP zr. 32x spec4. 1 I've updated the front rear differential to 28t Ring and 8t pinion gear set for hpi XL 5.9 3.8" tires and 35kg beta high voltage high torque water proof servos says 8.0v max do I OR should I run a bec
Didn't catch it live but enjoy it. I liked the discussion on Novarossi and marketing. One other view point I would offer with partnering with a large company is big company issues. Namely they would squeeze Novarossi so hard there would be zero profit in it for them... I don't think it would be a stretch to assume it would of been a total loss or they would need to buy there distribution. If your hurting tough lever to pull... it could of paid of though if they only locked in for a year or something to get there name out there more. I just guessing that if they partnered with serpent they reached out to others as well. Now losi... that's a whole different discussion. What I will say is the rtrs are not what they once were. Take the original losi mini 8ight and compare it to the modern mini 8t... guess which one is significantly lacking
hey dude! The serpent and Novarossi required a 3 hour video, ahah. My other electrics are fairly collectible, including an original e-maxx, an original hpi RS4 MT and an original HPI E-Savage!
The t3.0 will strip the diff and spur on the rush, tried and tested. Plus all the car want to do is wheelie everywhere which becomes annoying when you want to steer. Hpi installed th t15 for a reason, the t3.o is installed in cars that have 4 wheel drive like the rs4 and bullet. Rush is 2 wheel drive and the little small diff will destroy itself.
I know! Unfortunately ELITIST losi could not make a deal with other brands. Lets face it, PORCHE and MSAERATTI both knew they needed to go more downstream and sell to the public cheaper cars, but ROSSI just didn't get that part. They should have asked the NitroGang! Imagine a nice SLAYER PRO ROSSI edition!!
hey bro! yes! I actually purchased a new one a while ago, still have not opened the box. I got it when it was the older price, I told people to get it, but nobody listened, then prices went UP.
hey bro! I'll do a couple break in tanks with this, I really dont know much about the history, it was already used when I got it! Thanks for the view and your support!>
hey bro! I VOTE HELL YES!! to the Make SCT Nitro trucks great again! There was a time when there were several brands making them, but the electrics dominated the SCT market, DAMNIT!! Blame the electrics once again.
@@hybrid32494 the serpent website says the current rtr serpent can use any SRX8 nitro parts, so can basically upgrade the rtr completely into the SRX8 Pro. I think that's pretty cool. Also, on the Losi 8ight, is the carb able to fit a venturi and would it increase speed if so? Or just increase the power?
hey buddy! Yes! I have since realized this, you're right! You know I'm not an elitist type channel, but I love Nitro tech, this was very interesting for me to see. thanks for the confirmation bro.
Hey Dimitri they probably do it cuz you can deliver more torque to the screw with a flathead for tightening without stripping like all them hex heads do they piss me off what to do I hate hex heads
No disrespect but check out the track in the Bronx at gun Hill right off the Bronx River parkway is right on the exit of gun Hill it's a really short track they made it for nitro buggies and truggies but when I say short it really is short Google it
we all know on this channel I also support electrics, at a 4:1 Nitro to Electric ratio, only! ahah.. you're right though. Its all a joke my dude, thanks for being here... I never make fun of people, only of RCs and ideas, like FLAT EARTH..
Well it be cool to see Traxxas with an novarossi engine I don't think Traxxas would ever partner with another engine manufacturer other than themselves. But it would have been cool I agree. What novarossi should have done is partnered with team Losi cuz horizon hobby has the distribution and well-known name I'm not such a fan of those Dynamite engines they're not junk they just don't go very fast or turn up very high.
you're right bro, novarossi should have partnered with a well knows are brand like LOSI, that' a good idea right there. The dynamite motors r reliable and run well, but as you already know, they got no HIGH RPM at all.
The pull start system on this car is Junk! I own this car and it is junk too! I have taken the motor out and removed the one way bearing and sealed off the back plate and going to put it in my losi truggy as a bump start and going to see what this motor can really do! Good video by the way.
hey man, this is a live stream, not a pre-recorded video. Things take much longer here and I need to occupy a window of 2 hours for a video of this kind.
I meant hose of course,not tube. Ha ha .excuse my bad english. And i diddnt watch the whole video before my comment. You came up with that idea yourself anyway. 👍
exactly right bro! Im glad you agree with me! I always found them to be overpriced and relatively zero innovating since the 1990s. And yet when I released. buggy video everybody likes them, I just dont get it!! We gotta find that infamous LOSI short track though ,ahha.
hey buddy! how you doing! Yes, these models are quite rare these days because they have been discontinued a while ago, and really no other similar high end RTR buggies like these either... Anyways, dont worry, there will be more!!!
Good observation, I should have mentioned that, but I was too worried about the pull-start. The bearing is extremely small, you're right. I've actually never seen one that small before.
It's a shame you didn't deploy the "don't put people down" attitude on your fb site bro. A lot of people have left that site because of that exact thing.
I had several Novarosssi Engines, they were my go to Engine. The .25 Truggy was a Monster in my 8t, it ran cool and I never had an issue with it
hey my dude! how you doing! Welcome to the channel, I see you're a new SUB, thanks for being here. I've grown to love this Novarossi motor, it's a budget model, but still great, you're totally right..
I have a hpi 4.6 pulse buggy. With a 4.6 high output engine it's collecting dust in my shed. You wure killing me when you wure talking about that losi 8 buggy. A os v spec engine would definitely make that buggy move. I really don't blame you for not being crazy with mods. Sometimes just nice upgrade engine is all nitro needs. Keep staying positive your humor and upbeat attitude is what this hobby needs
FYI hybrid about 99% of all Novarossi have Flathead screws hudy actually has a specialized flat head driver for the Nova Rossi engines
hey brother! Thanks so much for that info! Always happy to learn some thing I didn't know! This is my first Novarossi after-all you know.. Makes sense now, im honestly surprised nobody in the stream pointed that out. Thanks again!!
Looks good! I need a bigger garage so I can have some fifth scale in my life. This is exactly the kind of quality and detailed features I would be keen on. And right price too. Thanks for a high quality overview. The camera quality is insane
that serpent buggy is dope. very nice!
ooo man, we got a retro celebrity in the house here, HENRY FORD! lol. JK. Thank you dude, I will be running this thing soon, and we will check it out for real, out it the NitroGang world!!
I use to put some silicone oil on the exhaust gasket. Its a good thing that it is tight,so it doesent leak.

my serpent i put a 15 tooth bell its great it came with a 13
hey man! That is a great upgrade, these engines can easily pull some taller gearing and get some better speed!
I don't think there's anything wrong with the pull start, I believe the edges of the drum are catching on the outside case. that is eliminated once pullstart is attached to engine and held centered by one way bearing.

JUst dry and new
will get smooth when ran with the oil form the emgine
just ordered a serpent buggy nitro $466 a main
I can't find piston and cylinder code 08058 for serpent engine 😭
HPI T3.0, or SH 18 for Nitro Rush?
As far as gearing for the sLosi, the 8ight E RTR uses a 43t spur gear.
Ask the boys at Amain if it fits. 👍
YEs bro! 100% right! Its going to be one of these!! Can't wait to make my old vintage HPIs Great again!
The t3.0 will strip the diff and spur on the rush, tried and tested. Plus all the car want to do is wheelie everywhere which becomes annoying when you want to steer.

Take that pull start out and put a back plate on it and get a bump box and ull get bout 6k more rpm
That pullstart looks alot like those on hpi k4.6 engines.
yes! I was thinking that same thing too while I was working on it, Good observation man!
It’s GENIUS x1000000
Where'd you find that, I thought they were discontinued
It's second hand, not bought off the shelf like he stated.
@@mtadave6702 yes, not brand new! I should have purchased it long ago when they were still being sold..
R.i.p novarossi your engines will be missed.

SICKENING!!! 🤣🤣
HPI still sells the nitro trophy buggy on HRP.
