Novarossi Safe Storage plugs Categories - Accessories, Engines, Novarossi, Products - comments closed 
Novarossi have released this set of 3 safe storage plugs, designed to cover all the openings on the engine. Most racers have multiple engines and this means that 1 or more engines are being stored away somewhere amongst your racing gear. A plastic bag gives some protection but it is not dust & oil proof, and that is where these plastic plugs come in. Placing them over the carburettor, fuel nipple and exhaust port, this closes the engine fully and keeps dust and debris outside the engine, and oil inside the engine. Available for both 3.5cc/4.66cc engines and 2.10cc/2.5cc engines.

Novarossi 35 Plus 21 LC ‘Cordoba Edition’ Categories - Engines, Novarossi, On Road, Products - comments closed 
Novarossi have announced that they have created, and will begin selling, a limited edition range of motors to celebrate Lamberto Collari’s 8th World title in Cordoba, Argentina. Limited to only 999 pieces, the ‘Cordoba Edition’ is an exact replica of the engine that Collari used to win Novarossi’s 9th World title.
The 35 PLUS 21 LC “Cordoba Edition” has an all-new carburettor. Made from a different kind of alloy and combined with the integrated cooling fins will it keep the temperature of the fuel down before it will enter the engine’s internals. The cooling fins will also reduce the overall mass of the engine; this improves the performance of your 1:8 On-road racing car. Next to the new carburettor we also have made a new look on the cooling head, to remember our victory in Cordoba. The sun we used is very similar to the sun in the flag of Argentina.
Available in December, if you want one you’d better start saving as it isn’t going to be cheap.
UPDATE: We’ve been informed by NR that it is expected to be in the EUR500-600 region, so not as dear as we originally thought.

Novarossi unhappy with Joseph Quagraine Categories - Drivers, Gas, Novarossi, Off Road, Racing - comments closed
We like a bit of scandal here at Red RC and today we have some from Novarossi, following on from yesterdays announcement that their team driver Joseph Quagraine had left the Italian Manufacturer to go drive for O.S. Engines. In what appears to be a recurring trend by Italian engine manufacturers, Novarossi have decided to go public with the whole mess by making a statement on their website regarding the subject.
Dear Mr. Joseph Quagraine,…..NOVAROSSI WORLD srl informs you that we take legal actions, regarding your contract breach. As stated in your contract you have to use the products provided by NOVAROSSI WORLD srl until the end of this year (31/12/2007). We are valueting the damage that you have caused after your public statement to move, without any right, to a different engine company. We will notify you the specific and total amount of the damage soon. NOVAROSSI WORLD inform all the other engine companys, that we will value to take legal actions against your contract breach…….
As we dont know all the details behind this story it wouldnt be correct for us to make any presumptions as to the reasons for the split, but either way i cant understand what the motive behind publicly threatening legal action is, as these things very rarely (in Europe at least) go any further than letting out a bit of hot air.

Joseph Quagraine joins O.S. Engines Categories - Drivers, Gas, Novarossi, OS Engines, Off Road, Racing - comments closed
Our partners Neo Buggy are reporting that 3 times Nordic champion and Worlds Semi-finalist Joseph Quagraine has left Italian engine sponsor Novarossi and joined forces with the Japanese manufacturer O.S. Engines. Joseph makes the switch after 2 and a half years with the Italian outfit having joined them from Picco in late 2004. His most recent, and final, victory for Novarossi came 2 weeks ago when he took the truggy class win at the Offroad Meeting in Monsummano, driving the HoBao RTR truggy.
I would like to thank Novarossi for their excellent support during the last few years. I wish everyone at Novarossi all the best for the future, however I look forward to a long and successful future driving for O.S. Japan, and would also like to thank them for this oppurtunity.
Quagraine joins a long list of star racers that are currently using the O.S. buggy motor such as Pavidis, Maifield, Hughes, Tebo, Smolnik, Bradley, James and Saxton, all of which were in action at last weekends ROAR Buggy Nationals.
