The long stroke extreme torque power plant was developed for medium to high grip tracks and it offers an extra long stroke design, five scavenger ports and a single exhaust port cylinder sleeve to deliver a 20,000 RPM range of usable torque while offering exceptional mileage. The engine is equipped with a DLC-coated crankshaft and backplate for up to 3-times the lifespan of conventional steel crankshafts and a new cooling system allows the engine to perform at its best even in very hot ambient temperatures. Other features include the proven HCX carburettor, and the engine comes tuned and assembled using hand-inspected parts and following a compression check.

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.
