Hasi Tuned 7R and 9R .21 Onroad engines

Hasi Tuned has announced that its new 7R and 9R .21 onroad engines are now available. Compared to the current engines the main feature of the new 7R and 9R is in the material of the cylinder. As previously featured here on Red RC, the new engines are equipped with an aluminium sleeve (AAC) instead of brass (ABC). A new red cooling-head and new graphics immediately identify the new engines. Similar to the brass models, these were also tested over several months before release on the market in order to guarantee, as per Hasi Tuned policy, a product of high quality, easy to use, without compromising performance. Like for the ABC cylinders, the new AAC version can be fitted on any OS base engine starting from the R2101 and ending with the R2105.
