Ultimate Racing EFRA 2141 & 2142 exhaust systems

Coming from Modelix Racing are the updated Ultimate Racing EFRA 2141 and EFRA 2142 Off-road Super Strong exhaust systems. On both sets the location of the pressure tap has been modified for better performance and both come with the Fast-Lock pipe and manifold connecting system for easy and reliable connection of the exhaust pipe and manifold. Performance-wise the EFRA 2141 pipe provides a precise and linear throttle response in the low to mid RPM range with great top end speed while offering an easy to control power curve for very demanding tracks with sharp corners and hard to clear jumps. The EFRA 2142 set provides a precise and linear throttle response in the higher RPM range with a great top end speed, making it the perfect choice for big tracks with long straights where high top speed is needed.

Smart engine break-in system

The new Smart engine brake-in system allows automated engine breaking-in for easier and faster preparation of new nitro engines. The engine will be fixed in the device whose sensors will monitor and control parameters such as RPM, temperature, load and more in order to provide a safe and convenient break-in process without having to dismantle the engine. A glow plug igniter, heater, cooling fan as well as as stater are all incorporated into the unit as is a special TDC function that prevents the system from stopping the engine on the top dead centre which can harm the piston and liner. Instead the unit will ensure the engine will be kept at the bottom dead centre before the start and after the operation, ensuring prolonged parts life. The break-in process is widely customisable in terms of RPM, temperature, load and throttle curve and it can also be monitored using an optional WiFi module and a mobile device.
