Novarossi have introduced some new apparel items today beginning with this new pit towel. Made from a tough type of cotton, it sports the brands blue colour and also features an homage to their 11 world championship wins. Secondly is the new 27 year anniversary t-shirt, made in blue and sporting a graphic of the Italian country in the ‘Tri-colore’ to emphasize their Italian origin. Last but not least is a new Novarossi patch measuring just 6x6cm makes it ideal to stitch onto your racing clothing to show off your brand loyalty.
When Novarossi launched their Basic Sport Competition engine line back in 2009, demand exceeded expectation and so as a result, the N21-5T has received an update. The N21-5T comes with a new crankcase with a new internal porting design for a more optimized flow. There are also external changes to the crankcase, such as a different pattern of cooling ribs along the crankcase.

Novarossi have announced the signing of 13-Year Old Chinese-American JJ Wang to their factory team. The up and coming young driver, who resides in Shanghai, China, is the top 1/8 nitro driver in the country and rising star among the ranks of top Asian drivers. JJ had this to say about the deal:
Ever since I started racing since I was 7.5 years old, I have always thought of Novarossi as the brand that makes the best engines in the world. I am really happy to have this opportunity to race for Novarossi and to be on a team with so many world champions. Now with the power for Novarossi engines, I hope to perform even better at races in China and around the world.

Starting from this week, Novarossi’s 35 Plus 21 and the Kangaroo .21 SYDWC engine will come with an upgraded cooling head. The upgraded heads are the same that are used on the previous .21 Flash engines, featuring drilled holes and 6 cuts to reduce the overall weight. Because the cooling head is mounted relatively hight, any reduction in weight for this part significantly helps lower the CofG.

With increasing RPM and engines that are running as lean as possible to deliver the most power possible, the temperature of the exhaust gas have become quite high, which is damaging the exhaust gasket. With the release of the new 2011 Nova line of engines, Novarossi have a different shaped exhaust channel which has no sharp corners, a change that also required a modification to the design of the exhaust gasket itself. As seen in our coverage from Nuremberg, the new gaskets have a different internal shape which allows for better contact with the crankcase, plus it also is made from a more heat resistant material. All 3 modifications are made to improve the life such a little, but important, part of their high performance competition engines.
