Coming from Reds Racing is the new EFRA 2143 off-road exhaust pipe. Designed to improve fuel economy and torque of Reds Racing’s own engines, the pipe, in combination with the S manifold, will increase the runtime by about 30 to 40 seconds, depending on the track and surface grip. This means up to nine minutes of runtime can be achieved with the Reds Racing R7 Evoke and the Quattro 4-shoe clutch. Additionally the torque will be increased by about 5 percent, and a more precise throttle response in the low to mid RPM range can be felt. The pipe is available separately or including the S manifold.

Following the GT1 3.5cc GT engine, Maxima have introduced the Mx R6 3.5cc on-road engine. The power plant is based on the O.S. Speed R2102 and underwent several modifications to further improve the performance. Tuned for the use with 16 percent nitro fuel the engine also features a DLC-coated and tungsten-weighted crankshaft, a new ceramic main bearing for decreased internal friction and an additional combustion camber insert allows for finer engine tuning when required. On top of this a low centre of gravity cooling head lowers the over CG of the car. The factory selected, modified and tuned engines become available very soon.

Reds Racing have introduced their new high-performance R5TTE V5.0 3.5cc nitro off-road engine. The new power plant has been redesigned internally for improved fuel consumption and bottom torque thanks to refining the sleeve, piston, combustion chamber and crankshaft. The engine comes with the proven HCX carburettor, Gen2 venturi, anti-dirt sealing system, Diamond hard-coated backplate, balanced crankshaft, and the Mario Rossi Tuning. Furthermore, the R5T Team Edition comes with a brand-new cooling head design. The Team Edition is hand-tuned with a silicone-filled, balanced and tuned crankshaft by M. Rossi. Every single engine is hand inspected and compression checked to achieve the highest quality standards. On top of this the engine is also available pre-broken-in by Mario Rossi or as race ready variant by Elliott Boots.
RC Concept have introduced two new Turbo-style glow plugs. The RC4 super hot is best used in ambient temperatures between 15°C and 45°C while the RC3 ultra hot was developed for a lower 0°C to 25°C range. Both are made by Japanese company O.S. Engines which will make for exceptional quality and durability.

Coming from Picco are the new V1 Race and V1 Star intro off-road engines. Starting with the Race engine, the power plant shares many design features with the higher-ranked Team engine such as a 5-port cylinder and long stroke design in combination with a new, stiffer crankcase but the Race edition sports a slightly different exhaust port that leads to a different power response. With the only other differences from the higher end version being a steel rear bearing instead of the ceramic one and a non DLC-coated crankshaft, the V1 Race addresses all levels of racing. The engine also features the new double bottom-end adjustment carburettor that allows for a finer tuning.
