Novarossi 9901 Super Strong Tuned pipe

Novarossi 9901 Super Strong Tuned pipe

A lot of buggy racers like to use the Novarossi EFRA 9901 tuned pipe due to his good mileage and power, but with the rough nature of this class it can be difficult for any tuned pipe to stay free from damage. A damaged tuned pipe will hurt your performance and can be costly to repair to replace, so today the Italian company have finished work on a new EFRA 9901 Super Strong tuned pipe, which requires some serious effort to damage it. A very positive side effect from making this pipe is that it vibrates at a different frequency, thus making less noise then the normal 9901. Fully compliant with the latest EFRA regulations for competition use its available trough the usual distribution channels.

X Factory Transmission Shims get upgrade

X Factory Transmission Shims get upgrade

X-Factory have announced new shims for the height-adjustable transmission in the X-6 Squared, X-60, and original X-6, which claim to be a big improvement over the original versions. These new shims are made of aluminium and so are lighter than the original steel version, they have also been anodized and have four different colours for easier identification. Chazz Sinclair, company president, said, “We’re able to hold better tolerances with the aluminium, especially in the smallest size, .030″. We continue to have the only height-adjustable transmission on the market, and the difference just .030″ makes in side bite & forward bite is incredible. The cool thing is that we’ve been able to lower the price by about 1/3 for lighter, better shims.” The new shims have been in all X-6 Squared Kits shipped since April 24 and will be in the X-60 by mid-May. All original #5700 shims are gone, so all #5700s shipped from now on will be the new parts.
