Ielasi Tuned Raptor.21 Evo 3.5cc nitro engine

Ielasi Tuned have introduced their new Raptor.21 Evo 3.5cc nitro engine. A true evolution compared to the previous Raptor.21 Euro Spec, the engine makes used of an exclusive crankshaft created specifically to Ielasi Tuned’s specifications, while the piston and liner were modified differently compared to the previous version, making for a different compression ratio. Also new for the Evo is a lower and lighter cooling head that is about 7g lighter compared to the previous version while also scrubbing Ielasi Tuned’s classic purple colour that has accompanied the brand for years, and that has now changed to gray, a colour that will then cover Ielasi Tuned’s entire Evo range engines.

Ielasi Tuned sign Robert Pietsch

Ielasi Tuned from Italy have announced the signing of former IFMAR 1/8th World Champion, Robert Pietsch to their factory team. Robert will use the Novarossi-based engines to power his Mugen ride during his 2020 1/8th scale campaign and he has the following to say about the deal:

First of all I want to thank O.S. Speed and in particular Mr. Shimazaki for the support of the past two years. In the near future I will focus more on the Mugen Seiki 1/10 touring electric model car project, so with the Nitro I will not be able to race with the 1/10 this season, but only in the 1/8 On-Road category and I am sure that together with Daniele, with all his passion and experience as a mechanic on the track, we will do our best to obtain good results.

Ielasi Tuned Raptor.12 Evo nitro engine

Coming from Ielasi Tuned is their new Raptor.12 Evo nitro on-road engine. Designed for 1/10th scale 200mm touring cars the power plant is the evolution of the Raptor.12 WC and features a new low centre of gravity cooling head that is of an updated shape for an overall lower CG and thus less chassis roll in corners which results in a more planted ride especially in high-grip track conditions. Furthermore timing has been optimised to improve the engine’s performance over the whole RPM band and it comes with a hand-tuned DLC coated crankshaft and a ceramic main bearing.
