Novarossi Plus 4 buggy engine

Novarossi, always working on improving their products and staying ahead of the competition, have released the Plus 4 Buggy engine. This new engine has been designed from a clean sheet of paper, incorporating their usual high standards for quality and performance. During the 1/8th scale buggy World Championship held earlier this year the company’s team drivers did extensive test work, making this already good engine even better. At the moment Novarossi are finalizing the last details of this engine, but for those who put their order in early enough they have released 180 Pre-Series engines for the American market only. The final version will be available in the coming months.
