Nuernberg Toy fair - Engine round up Categories - Engines, Exhibitions, Products - comments closed
With so many products being shown at the fair we have decided to do a few rounds up of certain types of products, this first one being for engines. We have already seen the Mario Rossi tuned GRP motors and the new Team Orion CRF range or motors so whats left, well quite a lot actually. The engine above is the Danielle Ielasi edition motor from Picco and we would expect that it features the same work as every other ‘edition’ engine on the market but in a Picco motor and its available in circuit and buggy versions.
UPDATE: Added 3 more engines to the list.
Hit more for more motors… (more…)

Team Losi Nitrotane fuel Categories - Engines, Fuel, Products, Team Losi - comments closed
Team Losi have releaed this new range of fuels made in association with VP Racing fuels who are more used to created fuels for full scale drag racing vehicles. The fuel will be available in 20% and 30% nitro levels and are ready to buy in both gallon and quarter gallon tins.
The premium ingredients in Nitrotane Race Formula offer a lower acidity level than most other nitro fuels on the market, ensuring that your engine will be fully protected against internal corrosion. And no other fuel can offer your nitro vehicle the same level of power and protection that goes into 300+ mph competition drag racers. The combination of VP Racing’s quality and the nitro racing expertise of Team Losi means that Nitrotane Race Formula is ready to take you to the finish line, tank after tank.

Team Orion have shown this unique and rather innovative constant pressure device (CPD) on their stand at this weeks show in Germany. Created to solve engine tuning problems that arise when you switch from full throttle to low speed, high pressure generated from running at full throttle is still present and it is pushing fuel to the carburettor inlet even though the carburettor is closed. Because of this the mixture will become too rich, causing slower acceleration and wasting fuel. This device solves that.
The CRF CPD acting as a pressure valve system, effectively resolves this problem by regulating the amount of pressure going to the fuel tank. The valve allows a constant amount of pressure to be sent to the fuel tank, by opening or closing itself depending on the engine’s rotation speed.
The eagled eyed amongst you would have noticed this device on Adrien Bertins Kyosho from our photos yesterday.

Word of engine maestro Mario Rossi coming out with his own hand tuned range of GRP made motors came out about a week or so back and here we have the fruits of that partnership. The engine above is the new Falcon motor which has been given the Mario Rossi personal go fast treatment and topped off with this great looking magnesium coloured cooling head. He has also put his hand to the Ninja motors and an image of that can be seen below.
