Novarossi launches Virtus Power engine line

Novarossi has unveiled their all-new generation of high-end engine today. The unveiling of the new Model family goes by the name of ‘Virtus Power’ also marks the launch of series production of the new units. The new engine line features a different position of the carburetor, which is now offset from the centre line of the engine. This new position offers a better mixture flow through the crankcase’s intake and crankshaft, with new engineering guaranteeing a better balance with improved fuel efficiency and a better power curve. Other changes include the use of 6 screws on the cooling-head instead of 4 to ensure a better sealing between sleeve, bottom head and the crankcase. The first engine to be released using this new technology is the Virtus.21 long stroke 9 port on road engine.

Durango DJoint drive shaft system

Durango DJoint drive shaft system

Specially designed for the DEX410 range of vehicles, the new Durango DJoint drive shaft system is a product with one valuable racing commodity in mind, efficiency. The DJoint drive shafts feature a double joint in the coupling of each shaft, meaning that each joint works at half the articulation of the conventional drive shaft, increasing the efficiency in which the drive shaft transmits the drive to the front and rear gearboxes. The resulting increase in drive shaft efficiency will in turn directly translate to more forward momentum down at the wheels. Precision machined from strong and durable material, the DJoint drive shaft system will perform under all racing conditions. The DJoint centre drive shaft set includes all the parts required to build a front and rear centre drive shaft for your DEX410 model.

For the T4 from Xray comes this graphite adjustable battery holder that allows for adjustment to eliminate battery play on the chassis.

If heavy electronics are used, the battery can be positioned more outboard to achieve proper balance (or inboard for lighter electronics). The battery can be moved forward for increased stability or to the rear for additional steering.
