Reds Racing 723 Scuderia Pro engine

Reds Racing have announced their new 723 Scuderia Pro Engine. This is a .23cc engine and is specifically designed for use in 1/8th truggy. In some applications, a truggy requires more power and the 723 Scuderia is designed for that. Based on their popular 721 Scuderia Pro, the 723 Scuderia piston and sleeve are specifically designed for use in truggy and are optimised for this application. The engine features a high performance 3 needle carburettor which allows better and easier tuning in all conditions. Furthermore, thanks to its mid range needle, this carburettor guarantees more linear power delivery and greater power. The new engine also comes with DLC Coated crankshaft and backplate for improved engine durability. The crankshaft can last approximately 3 times more than a conventional steel crankshaft thanks to the extreme hardness of the diamond coating. Even the conrod life is lengthened by about 50%.
