Reds Racing M7 WCX Pro Tuned .21 on-road engine

Reds Racing have introduced the new M7 WCX Pro Tuned 3.5cc 1/8th on-road engine. Considered to be the company’s top of the food chain on-road engine, the power plant was developed over the course of a year with input of team drivers and distributors. The engine has been specifically developed for people looking for the same speed and specs as used by Pro Factory Team drivers and so the WCX Pro Tuned is based on M7 WCX engine with additional hand-made finishing touches to the sleeve and crankshaft in order to obtain improved fluid dynamics efficiency while the modified timing ensures even greater power output. The engine is totally hand-inspected and tuned by Mario Rossi himself and will become available very soon.

Rohrmoser claims Austrian 1/10th 200mm title

The 4th and final round of the Austrian IC Track National Championship took place at the Sollenau track recently. Pre-event favourites were Franz Engel and Christoph Rohrmoser who both had chances to take the title but Engel had to win the race to claim the title. In qualifying Simon Ciudan claimed the pole position followed by Engel and Rohrmoser respectively. At the start of the final Engel was able to take over the lead and managed to increase the gap to one lap over the rest of the field. Mid-race he changed tyres and dropped behind Ciudan who opted to run on a single set of tyres. In the final stages Engel closed the gap step by step, but as the clock was ticking down he had to take a higher risk and made a mistake in the penultimate lap. Ciudan crossed the finishing line in 1st position followed by Rohrmoser and Engel in third. With this result Rohrmoser took the overall title in front of Engel and Kandelhart. Young Shepherd racer Simon Engel finished the final in 6th position which was enough to claim the National Junior title.
