Available now is Reds Racing’s M7 WCX Corsa Lunga 3.5cc nitro on-road engine. The new power plant is a seven special ports extreme power engine that sports a brand new cooling head which features an updated design for improved airflow to increase the cooling and ensure a low centre of gravity. The crankcase, the new head and the combustion chamber have been redesigned to improve cooling consistently and the new cooling system, besides improving cooling and reliability, also improves engine performance and fuel efficiency. The engine comes with a DLC-coated crankshaft and backplate for improved engine durability and the on-road carburettor has been redesigned to get greater idle stability, more precise tuning and improved power delivery.

Reds Racing have announced the release of their new M5 GT Corsa Lunga nitro engines for 1/8th GT vehicles. The power plant is available in two specifications, as M5 GT and M5 GT Ceramic. Both are long stroke on-road based engines with their new carburettors being designed specifically for on-road racing to ensure high performance and precise tuning. Other features include silicon filled and tuned crankshafts, sleeves with five inlet ports and three exhaust ports, high performance Japanese-made front and Swiss-made rear ball bearings with the Ceramic spec engine utilising a rear Swiss-made ceramic main bearing. Both M5 GT engines come with a Japanese-made Reds Racing TS7 glow plug for easier tuning and high reliability starting from the break-in process.
Reds Racing have released their new clutch retainer kit for TLR and Tekno vehicles as well as heavy duty clutch bearings. Starting with the clutch retainer, the set includes an alloy steel washer and high-quality screw that allow to use the Reds Racing Durabell and Tetra clutch systems on TLR and Tekno RC kits. The set captures the bearing and clutch bell to keep everything in place, even in the event of a bearing failure. Also new are 5x13x4mm heavy duty metal-shielded clutch ball bearings. They are made in Japan and offer exceptional durability even in severe racing conditions.
Reds Racing have introduced their new VX2 540-size brushless motor line. With a new low internal resistance design the motor offers improved performance and efficiency while the new high airflow can enhances cooling efficiency by 20 percent compared to the 1st generation motor. The new high power stator does away with a separate insulator which reduces weight and improves cooling while pure copper wires and low resistance collector rings guarantee a maximum in power and RPM. The motor complies with IFMAR, ROAR, BRCA and JMRCA rules and it is available in 5.5T to 8.5T modified as well as 10.5T, 13.5T, 17.5T, 21.5T and 25.5T stock windings.
