Reds Racing 723 Scuderia PRO Gen 3 .23 Truggy Engine

Reds Racing has released the 723 Scuderia PRO Gen 3 .23 Engine that is specifically designed for 1:8 Truggy. The new engine comes with a completely redesigned sleeve hand tuned by Mario Rossi to generate more power than the previous versions. In some applications, Truggy requires more power and the 723 Scuderia is designed around that. Based on our popular 721 Scuderia Pro, our 723 Scuderia piston and sleeve are specifically designed for use in Truggy and are optimised for this application. Furthermore, 723 Truggy engine comes with a new rear bearing for increased durability and reliability. The PRO engine features an extremely performing 3 needle carburetor which allows better and easier tuning in all conditions. Furthermore, thanks to its mid range needle, this carburetor 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%.
