East Mugen & Kyosho middle bearing blocks

East, the Japanese modified parts maker, has begun selling these new middle bearing blocks for the Mugen MRX4-R, the Kyosho Evolva and the Kyosho V-One RRR, which because of their construction prevent twisting and therefore reduce damage to the front belt. Made using high grade aluminum, each part is anodised and comes in a range of different colours with all sets supplied with ceramic bearings that help increase the drivetrain efficiency. The V-One RRR set comes with an additional titanium center pulley shaft, which is very light yet extremely strong.

Team Orion CRF .21 – Close up

Team Orion CRF .21 - Close up

We have already shown you the outside of the new .21 CRF buggy engine from Team Orion, as driven at the Kyosho Masters by engine developer Adrien Bertin, and while it may seem overkill to keep going on about this engine, we feel its important to show you more. We now have photos of the internals of this new engine and at first glance they seem to look very similar to those used in the .12 engines from CRF. How good is this engine, well Bertin qualified his CRF powered Kyosho in 9th place in Elite buggy at the Masters, but without knowing the full details, its hard to judge the motor based on this performance. Look below for yourself at the new crankshaft and the piston liner set.
