This is the REDS Racing R5T .21 5-Port "Team Edition 3.0" Off-Road Competition Buggy Engine. The R5T Team Edition is the highest performance 3.5cc off-road engine from REDS Racing. It boasts state-of-the-art technology to further improve fuel mileage, performance and reliability. The Team Edition has been designed to reduce fuel consumption and increase performance, and is equipped with: HCX horizontal carburetor; silicon filled, balanced and tuned crankshaft; RDC hard coating back plate; sleeve with 5 inlet ports and exhaust port with booster; high sealing front ball bearing; rear ceramic high quality bearing.
HCX Horizontal Carburetor - Higher Idle Stability
The revolutionary carburetor features a horizontally positioned top end needle that provides a more stable idle, more precise tuning, and higher mid/top end power.
Long Stroke - Horsepower
The R5T crankshaft is surprisingly strong and reliable thanks to special steel and heat treating. It is balanced with two high density material weights. Special silicone filling reduces rotation inertia.
Diamond Backplate - High technology
Refined with a special anti-friction hard coating RDC. This coating decreases conrod-backplate friction improving engine efficiency and performance.
5 Port & Boosters - Smooth Power
The sleeve with 5 inlet ports and exhaust port with boosters guarantees low fuel consumption and smooth power delivery. This is a true engineering masterpiece.
High Quality Bearings - High Reliability
The high sealing front ball bearing is Made in Japan and ensures high idle stability. The Swiss made steel-ceramic rear bearing ensures long life and low friction at high temperatures.
Flat Billet Piston - High Performance
The flat piston matched to a specific combustion chamber guarantees high performance and low consumption. Lightweight, durable and reliable is the standard quality of the connecting rod. The slim shape is designed to minimize aerodynamic friction.
Handmade, Tuned and Assembled - Mario Rossi
All parts are matched and measured by Mario Rossi within certain tolerances, then hand built by him personally. The engine leaves the factory with a hand inspection of all components and compression is checked.
