New from Reds Racing and made for low-grip and tight off-road tracks is the R7 Evoke V2.0 off-road engine. The V2.0, derived from the popular R7 Evoke V1.0, offers a special toque curve than can be beneficial on those smaller or not-so-grippy tracks. The features list include a 7-port sleeve with exhaust port boosters, a silicon filled, balanced and tuned crankshaft, a front high sealing and rear ceramic bearing as well as the RDC hard coating back plate. Also part of the package is Reds Racing’s revolutionary HCX horizontal long needle carburettor that was first seen during last year’s IFMAR 1/8th Buggy Worlds in Italy. On top of that each engine is hand-tuned, hand-inspected and compression checked by Marion Rossi before leaving the factory to ensure a maximum in performance and quality control.
