Reds Racing introduce new long “L” manifold

Reds Racing have expanded their off-road manifold range by adding the new long “L” manifold to the current medium, short and extra short offerings. Each manifold has been designed for different track conditions and to optimise performance. The new long version allows to increase the engine’s performance at low and medium RPM for a better throttle feeling. It is recommended for high grip tracks, however the top speed will be lower compared to the shorter manifolds.

FX low-profile engine cooling heads

FX have introduced a range of low-profile engine cooling heads for their range of .21 off-road engines. Machined from high-quality 7075-T6 aluminium and coming black anodised and laser-engraved for looks, the cooling heads are available in a 6-rib variant for cooler ambient temperatures, as 7-rib head for medium air temperatures and as 8-rib variant for hot racing conditions. Using the heads over the traditional tall head will lower the overall centre of gravity and weight thanks to the low-profile design and additional weight-saving machining. To further assist with cooling the head’s black coating is machined away in the contact area between the head and the combustion camber insert.
