Capricorn RC Hard Tuned engines

Capricorn RC have announced their new Hard Tuned engine treatment which they have applied to Novarossi, Sirio, O.S. and Picco motors. All engines are hand tuned to maximize performance and give the end user a top level engine. Internally the engines feature a hand worked crankcase to reduce the mixture turbulence flowing into the combustion chamber, while the liner has also been polished and hand worked. The crankshaft has been worked and balanced to increase high end rpm and a better bottom rise and polished manually to give better mixture flow.
