SPower S6TT “Dark Edition” .21 Off Road engine

New from Sworkz is the SPower S6TT “Dark Edition”, the next step in the development of the successful S6TT. This special edition impresses with improved stationary operation and vibration-reduced running behaviour in the high speed range. Of course, it has all the features of a top high-performance engine, such as DLC crankshaft and high-tech ceramic main bearings. It has a 3+2 port design in a die-cast crankcase fitted with high-quality bearings, made in Japan, at the front and a ceramic main bearing, making the SPower S6TT what off-road drivers expect from a racing engine: durability, stability and user-friendliness. The SPower S6TT features an aluminium carburettor with a very effective isolation ring and laser engraving. This carburettor consists of a smaller internal channel that offers more stable running and an optimal consumption/performance ratio. Depending on the vehicle and driving style, 10-minute refuelling stops are possible. The cylinder head includes an O-ring to reduce vibration and optimise concentricity. The cooling head is anodised in 2 colours making the SPower S6TT “Dark Edition” an engine that draws everyone’s attention.

Reigning 1:8 Offroad World Champion Davide Ongaro has announced that he is to leave tyre sponsor AKA. The Italian has worked with the American brand for 5-years and in that time claimed the sport’s great prize not once but twice winning back to back World titles in 2018 in Australian and earlier this year in Spain. The factory Team Associated driver made the announcement on his social media saying, “Here we are, we have reached the end of 2022 and with this post I wanted to communicate that for next season I will no longer be part of the AKA team, it has been 5 years full and full of emotions, full of positive results, but also of results where we struggled a bit, but that’s part of the game. Having won 2 world titles and knowing that you have made a part of history with AKA was truly a unique emotion, but unfortunately our paths diverge and it is time for a new challenge. I wanted to thank EVERYONE, truly EVERYONE without excluding anyone, you have been part of me and you will always remain in my heart, both mine and my family’s, I learned so much and I am grateful, we will surely see you again on track. Simply THANK YOU. Stay tuned, super excited for a new adventure… DAVIDE”.
