Triton L4 & L5 Pro Spec V2 Elite off-road engines

Coming from Triton are the new L4 and L5 Pro Spec V2 Elite .21 nitro off-road engines. Both feature a new piston/sleeve design, increasing fuel mileage and providing a more aggressive bottom end power delivery while the carburettor low speed needle and housing design has been changed to provide even easier tuning. On top of this the crankcase has been optimised for power and efficiency by manipulating the internal volume and angles and the crankshaft received a DLC coating for added wear resistance and longevity. Both engines also received a new cooling head that is milled for easier engine mount driver access. As for the characteristics, the L4 offers a smooth bottom end and strong mid range and top end performance, ideal for looser tracks while the L5 delivers huge low end torque, making it best suited on high-bite tracks or when a lot of low RPM torque is needed.
