SPower S6TT Buggy 3.5cc engine

The new SPower S6TT Buggy 3.5cc engine from SWorkz features a newly designed crankcase that improves internal gas flow and therefore higher performance at every range of RPM. The 14mm crankshaft with silicone insert is DLC coated in order to prevent wear of the pin as well as oxidation and the shaft works on a high quality rear ceramic Swiss-Made bearing. The 3+2 ports ‘cylinder and piston’ is made with special alloys to optimise life and reliability of the unit. Paired with the long stroke scheme the S6TT provides an improved drivability delivering more torque than previous models. The super aligned ‘knife edged’ aerodynamic conrod is also made with a special aluminium alloy. The die-casted carburettor sports the latest double bottom-end adjustment for a fine-tuning and guarantees low fuel consumption. Finally, the completely redesigned cooling head features a lower centre of gravity with the same quantity of cooling rings. SPower also offer a perfectly adapted EFRA homologated exhaust system for this engine.

Reds Racing clutch retainer screws

Reds Racing’s new clutch retainer screws have been designed to provide maximum efficiency. They decided to use Titanium Grade 5 6Al4V over steel due to its high resistance and low weight. The total length of the screw is 10mm, 7mm of which are threaded. This means that the screw protrudes only 3mm from the crankshaft. In this way, you won’t risk any impact on the tank in case of chassis deformation. Moreover, these screws were designed to avoid any rubbing between the bearing and bell. In addition to that, the external diameter of the screws protects the bearing from dust and foreign bodies.
