Thank you my friend

I couldn't have said it better!!!! Wait for part 2, things are not going better

You are welcome, thanks for tuning in. That was the first kick, they haven't finished hurting themselves..

@@TastyBRC Simply put "Just Appalling" You should send it back for a "New Exchange" it would be interesting to see a vid on that and if they do any Quality Control at all . Great vids mate

Yes very unfrotunate.. very sad, i tought i could help them a bit, suport them with my videos but they cant be helped.. wait for part 2, you will understand 😔

@@TastyBRC Please upload part 2. thanks

@@smashrc123 probably tomorrow 👍

Before having it in my handds, when I saw it in other videos I was amazed!! so excited, couldn't wait, the design of the sleeve, engine block, dlc piston pin, unique!! Imagine my disappointment...

@@TastyBRC Dont know if the scratches in the sleeve or the missing machining of the cooling head are the worst part. Force Engines, which are often rediculed for being crap, have far better finish on their sleeves than this. And that non-machine cooling head will cause cooling issues.

Thank you!! no ass kisses here unless they deserve it 😆

@@TastyBRC totally 👍 bro totally 💯

I talk with many people on social media about these engines and they are all happy with them, I really think I am the 1/1000 unlucky guy. Check part 2, you will see how this company handled the problem ...

They didnt 🫤 you will see .

@@TastyBRC don't keep us hanging 😆

Great Video to ahow people why it is important to perform a pre-run teardown/inspection @Robert Wright....To me, with how much $ I spend on my nitro engines. It is always a step in my program to tear down and inspect ALL of the parts, then reassemble for any of my new engines before operation. (especially for top $ name brands. The big manufacturers that support other engine companies tend to operate utilizing more shifts to meet product demands. QA/ QC standards may be more "laxed," depending on how the people on that shift are feeling). Human Errors so happen! Benifit of doing the pre-run teardown/inspection...The tear down and reassemble process will also help aid you in troubleshooting any issues/headaches that may arise during break-in. But this is just how I run my nitro program!(I've had bulk order purchases that contained 2 engines from an older lot# that were never pulled off the shelf to receive the updated revisions that were made that engine series/line up). At NASA if you eete to audit the inspection records, I bet you will see that during high demand times, the majority of the rejectable production parts happen on weekends, holidays, etc., but the majority of the time it's the tail end of 3rd shift as well as the beginning of 1st shift. Because of my documentation, as demonstrated in this very nice and high quality video, I was able to get 2 brand new engine replacements that were manufactured earlier that year!...As well as a discount on my next bulk order! Since my issues were positively resolved, I will not name the manufacturer.... unless I get more botched engines in the future. lol I hope that someone will learn something from this video and its comments!...last thing we want is NitroNuts bailing to buy plug'n play flashlights🤯 #keepNitroAlive

Indeed its a shame.. Wait for part 2, people will know whi they are dealing with 😕

@@TastyBRC I'm just learning what makes these nitro engines work. Loving all this info. Good stuff. I got a nitro motor I want to get going. Gotta find out what make and model. I'll post on FB group page

" Nova engines intends to make the quality of the engine the most obssesive aspect of its production" -> interview video of the Nova Engines CEO 🤐They should replace the engine, i totally agree... or at least the piston and sleeve 😑

Yes the dlc piston pin is a good idea but the overall quality sucks.. aswell as the after sales service..

Probably.. Most people I talk with are happy with these engines... Maybe Ill give them another try 🤔

Dont know about the second nova batch but, from my experience, the first was terrible

Totally agree!!! The bent fin is just cosmetic damage, i told nova i could do with it and ask for piston-sleeve replacement only (that's not what they did, youll see). Still at 379 euros ($413) it's very unfortunate. The marks in the sleeve may not affect the performance.. i dont know, i dont think they will disappear after running-in, and the scratch on the piston means that the handling procedures are rough, like my friend NeedMoreBoost said. No slugs on the cranckshaft, no DLC inside.. not issues, like you said, i agree, but a cheaper way to make a cranckshaft for sure!!! And the are claiming " Nova engines intends to make the quality of the engine the most obssesive aspect of its production" ......NO comment . Yes this engine is cheaper than an OS AD3, FXk303 or 502 or even Reds but trust me in this range of price and enven cheaper you have many choices with ALL high end features you can expect from a racing engine and perfect machine work! But the worst is yet to come 🤐stay tuned !!!

@@TastyBRC FX I think has the best quality lol

Ultimate by OS, cant be disappointed bu one of those. I have a M5S

It will be minimal but it still a shame to not have milled this part of the cooling head on a 400$ engine 😮‍💨

😂 maybe for 600 people

Or on Monday morning after a drunken Sunday 🤔🤣

@@TastyBRC true! 😁

Me too!

I couldn't have said it better.. NovaROSSI were great, affordable, high quality engines. This is a different company with, obviously, different quality requierments

To be honest, I did not try to tune this engine.. I sent it back to the hobby shop, so cant say if i like those hex carb screws 🤔

Novarossi went out of bussines during covid. This is a new brand created by former novarossi employees, not the best ones IMO -_-

I agree, the engine will probably run good, most of the scratches will be polished, milling the cooling head and adding weights to the cranckshaft is not a necessity, it is true but this is a 380 euros engine, 413$.. that's why im concerned by this kind of details, in this price range they are competing with high end engines that look perfect and come with all the features you can expect from a race engine from brands that do not fail a quality control..

@@TastyBRC $413?!? The main distributor in the US has the B5R for $355 and the B3R for $290. It is kind of a bummer that the engine doesn’t come with the same features that other engines within the same price point come with, but in the end, it doesn’t matter what features it does and doesn’t have as long as it performs good. I’m considering picking up a B3R sometime soon. I’ll definitely be checking for any sort of imperfections now

Let me know how is your b3r if you buy one, in all the nova engines videos i have seen i just cant see the machining in the sleeve, cant compare, think most people dont look at that kind of 'detail'

As you said, not what i expected from an expensive engine (380 euros) and yes mass production issues occur but i think that OS and picco would not have reacted like nova engines and they would have fixed the problem

i mean this crankshaft has no counterweight, check Pert 2 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mc11q7qF252yk6s.html

Looks like it has a counterweight to me, it machined out of the steel of crank. You don't actually need tungsten inserts to balance a crank. It can allow you to design a more effective crank, less drag etc.

I think that up to a certain point you are right, I also said in part 2 that the crankshaft is obviously balanced but has no counterweights, I do not believe that the counterweights generate drag and not having put it on this crankshaft is just a way to make it at a lower price. Moreover in the new onroad engine R9, Nova Engines installed a crankshaft that they call "Triple Balanced Lightened Cranckshatf" according to the fact that this cranckshaft comes with 3 counterweights inserts... So based on what this company says, the b5r crank is not considered as "balanced" (by the counterweight inserts) and they may not think that 3 tungsten inserts generate drag. Still interesting exchange 👍

What the company sais is just marketing waffle. Of course the Tungsten inserts generate no drag. My point is that if you can make the counterweight smaller by using materials with higher density then the drag of that component as it rotates would be lower. Furthermore the smaller crank assembly could lead to reduction in under piston volume, another benefit. From your responses its clear you don't have a great technical understanding, so probably better to leave this conversation here.

@@richjbarnettThis crankshaft is by no means smaller than any other 1/8 scale nitro engine crank, neither its counterweight, it is made of steel like any other and no matter how dense this steel is, it will never be as dense as tungsten. Whether you believe that the insterts are necessary or not.... You won't change the laws of physics. It is rather you who imagines having a technical understanding superior to others and to everything that has been done in nitro so far.

Testa?

Totally agree 😮‍💨

SH enigne is not too bad at that price. High price/value enigne

@@smashrc123 sh . 21 race engines look really good, i was considering buying a lrp zz21 which is sh based, 200€, thats about 220$ fair price imo

You are right, scratches wont affect sealing, thats why i said in part 2 that this engine is going to run for sure! But this Kind of machine work still a shame...

Until Mito 9. Just! 4 more'.

Wich damage exactly? Unless you use sand paper in the sleeve i dont know how in the world i could have done this kind of damage to the sleeve. I paid 413$ for this engine, trust me i take good care of my stuff.

Totally agree, how could someone assemble, pack and ship an engine like this.... 0 quality control 🤬

Interesting, the sleeve has machining scratches, the piston is scratched and the block has a bent fin, which of these damages did I do and at what moment of the video?🤔

We found a Nova undercover representative me thinks.

​@@Thedudeabides803 I seriously wondered!!

😆😆 They claim they started this new company with ex Novarossi staff...I have 4 Novarossi and they are nothing like this "Nova" engine

Dont know if your serious 😅 but if so, most people are happy with their engines i think i was very unlucky..

I see.. so gray means dirty to you. These 'gray' microfiber ragS are the ones i use for engine internals and neither my piccos, OS, force, Lrps sleeves are scratched. But ive being doing nitro for 18 years only.. so how can i desagree with someone who has seen it all

First batch issues.. I was very unlucky. Most people are happy with these engines..

I first tohought that this kind of problem can happen with a first batch, which is really shameful is Nova's response.. watch the following video

Mine is junk.... heard most people are happy with this engine, do they look at the detail like i do and their engines are looking good? or did they not look at the details and did not realize the poor quality? I don't know, we don't clearly see their videos

In terms of quality this engine is far from a NovaROSSI.

Absolutely...

@@TastyBRC 😂😂.

Agreed. I have a couple OS (b2104, Ronda, B2103 R, Ielasi dirt....) and I love them , cant go wrong with a OS. Im not buying Nova again.
