Keps .21

[Stefan Adolfsson]

Probably the last practice for the season and i tryed my Keps with a Nova Rossi engine, the engine is "straight from the box" so no mods have been made yet!! Will be during winter i guess.. I think it run quite well for a stock engine with a newbe behind the controls....

Looks good for a new engine.

I hope there will be several more test sessions before the water gets hard!

Keep up the good work.

Thanks Jorgen,

I was realy pleased with how the engine worked, some tuning will hopefully get some extra rpm and i´m looking forward to try the props you will get for me.

Take care

Hi Glenn,

To be honest with you about the engine, I´m not sure!!! Got it from Niklas Edlund when i bought the boat.

I have sent him a mail and asked about the it and i will let you know when he peplyes, i think its about 4-5 years old and a track engine but i´m not sure.

Yes, the NR21 engine comes from me. But its older then that - I would guess 8-9 years, if not older... Its from back in the days when I was painting team bodyshells (1/8 & 1/10 on-road) for Team Serpent & Novarossi (Fabio Domanin & Massimo "Max" Fantini - they where booth working at the Novarossi factory back then). I got the engine as a payment for some painting...

I think it was called Nova 2000 and its not a marine engine - its an 1/8 on-road engine with a new cooling head and a short flywheel. So the porting is high everywhere. If I recall it correctly its only smoothened and sharpened inside and run-in with a propeller before Strefan got it - I never ran it in any boat - just on the bench.

Hello Stefan, your hydro looks great. What carb are you running on your Nova? What prop are you using in the video? Thanks, Richard

I think I can answer that as I sold it to him...

The carb is an CMD/CMB black carb (the one with the smaller venturi) and the prop is a AB 1445 3.0. The pipe is the short AB 21 pipe for 180 deg manifolds.

See picture. But that was with a Sirio engine (and a fat pipe).

Thanks Niklas!!!! I´m lucky to have you to awnser the questions for me.... lol To many tricky questions for a newbe!!

Nice run. You'll have a lot of fun running that boat.

Joe over at Zippkits has a very good prop for the .21 riggers. At a good price. Nice RUN

Thnks Tobbe,

We will see how much more i can get out of that engine, still only have one prop!!!!! I have some more rops coming in during the winter and i will try to do some more tests as long as the lakes are open and not covered with ice!!
