Ielasi Tuned GP9R & Dusty R .21 engines

Ielasi Tuned have introduced two new updates to their line of engines, the GP9R and the Dusty R. The most noticeable difference is the new grey cooling heads which going forward will be the colour the company adopts as its own. The GP9R has only had some small changes to this already reliable platform with new timing and so has a new button and the carburettor has a new black delrin ring on the bellows. The Dusty R takes a step away from its ‘entry level’ roots and the R is a new race version. Featuring a lightened crankshaft with red silicone as well as DLC treatment it has completely revised timing, a double shield front bearing, like that of its older brother DIRT, and the cooling head is now 10g lighter than the previous model and finally it too receives the delrin ring in the carburettor bellows. For both engines, in the near future you will also be able to spec it with a ceramic main bearing.

Hudy universal conrod puller

New from Hudy, the universal conrod puller simplifies engine disassembly for maintenance or repair. This unique puller is used to disconnect the conrod from the crankshaft, making it much easier to remove a new or tight conrod from the engine. The conrod is safely removed by clamping the black anodised aluminium fork behind the conrod and turning the wheel. Suitable for all standard .12 and .21 engines, the black anodised fork body is machined from lightweight aluminium with the high quality spring steel puller shaft providing extra strength.
