Team Orion Wasp Rev .12 up close Categories - Engines, Products, Team Orion - comments closed
Italian site RC Bazar have a nice article (in Italian) of the Team Orion Wasp Rev .12 with lots of pictures. This is the first time i have seen inside this engine and if you havent seen it yourself it will make for interesting viewing. As many know this engine by CRF for Team Orion is a very unconventional motor that features many patent pending technologies so its nice to see it up close.

Through Mirage Racing, RS Falcon have announced the release of this .28 truggy motor. It just shows the growing competitiveness of the truggy class when competition engine manufacturers are making motors specifically for it. This seems like a very nice motor, from the same stable as Ninja and Boss, and features some very cutting edge internals as you would expect from a motor with big names like GRP and Mario Rossi behind its design.
You can view more detailed pics and information here.

Orcan fuel and batteries Categories - Batteries, Fuel, Orcan, Products - comments closed
Not necessarily new products but the Orcan range of products have received a rather nice identity revamp. A while back we featured a rather nice motor cooler from Orcan, a brand belonging to SMI, the importers of Xray, Hudy and Novarossi in Germany. The Orcan fuel uses high quality components and has been developed over 10 years for competition use, winning many National and International championships, whilst the cells are matched 4200mAh suitable for serious racers. Expect to see air filters, glow plugs and oils for off road racing from Orcan in 2007.

Outerwears Pre Filter Categories - Accessories, Engines, Off Road, Outerwears, Products - comments closed
Outerwears have released this neat pre filter that stops the heavy crap that builds up on your airfilter before getting to the foam underneath, thus allowing the filter to do the job it was intended for. It says its designed to fit the stock air filter that comes on the RTR Losi 8ight but im sure it would work on others too.
Outerwears Pre-filters have been tested and proven to provide maximum performance from your hi-performance air filter longer. Pre-filters deflect dirt away from the air filter instead of packing up and slowing down air flow.

Jammin release new Pro .21 & .28 Engines Categories - Engines, Jammin, Off Road, Products - comments closed
Jammin have announced the release of 2 new pro engines, a .21 and a .28 motor. Both engines have been optimised for off road racing and both feature turbo plugs as well as a number of other performance enhancing improvements.
Tweaks to the materials, crank timing, and tolerances all played a part in getting the engine to the high performance edge that Jammin Jay requires. Both engines deliver excellent bottom end power with great top end run out.
