O.S Speed 21XZ-B buggy engine
Categories - Engines, OS Engines, Products - add a comment
O.S Speed have released the next incarnation of their World Championship winning buggy engine with the release of the 21XZ-B. This 3-port engine features smoother power delivery and an 8% improvement in fuel efficiency. The motor sports a new hardened and lightened crankshaft that uses tungsten weights for balancing, and this is mounted inside ceramic bearings for reduced rolling resistance. The cooling head has also received some attention, being lowered by 9mm and lightened through the use of holes to help lower its centre of gravity.

O.S. Speed new concept silencers
Categories - Engines, Exhausts, OS Engines, Products - add a comment
Seen during our coverage of the World Championships in Houston, O.S. Speed have released further details on their new line of on road exhaust systems. These new exhausts are fixed to the manifold with a pair of aluminium clamps which prevent the silencer from disconnecting during races. Unlike conventional spring connection, the semicircular clamps enable the adjustment of the pipe to any direction. The pipe itself makes the low to middle range response of the engine more snappy while maintaining top speed power. Available for the .21 (FEMCA & IFMAR legal) and .12 (EFRA & IFMAR legal) engines.
