The REDS 521 Sport .21 Broken In Off-Road Competition Buggy Engine Combo with 2143 tuned pipe and M manifold (REDKM210011), delivers a high end balance of innovation, quality and performance - at a mid range street price. The 521 Sport features technical changes in the 5 port sleeve, combined with updated materials to offer users high reliability, tuning stability and fuel mileage. The 521 Sport guarantees excellent performance at a reasonable price.

This combo has been broken in using a specific blend of oil for breaking-in nitro engines using the Oil Bath Lapping Machines. The pre-break-in process saves time, fuel and increases the performance over the traditional break-in process. Only a quick, post oil bath, break in process is keeping you from experiencing quality and performance.

Features:

  • ALUMINUM CARBURETOR: 521 Sport engine includes the same aluminum carburetor as 721 engines to guarantee reliability and tuning stability. The insulator bushing has been improved with aerospace grade ultra high strength polymer. Furthermore, the GEN2 carburetor features a double grub screw joint link to allow positioning and fitting with the any servo linkage system.
  • STATE OF THE ART DIE CASTING: The unique high stiffness crankcase design is produced with a high quality pressure die casting process and special aluminum alloy developed by REDS Racing engineers to guarantee higher stiffness and strength.
  • 5 PORT TECHNOLOGY: The piston and sleeve features updated materials. Thanks to updated 5 port technology, this engine provides really good fuel mileage and a smooth power band.
  • HANDMADE, TUNED AND ASSEMBLED: Every single engine is hand inspected and compression checked inside REDS Racing headquarters by Mario Rossi to achieve the highest quality standards.

Got the engine super fast shipping and no delay. Looks wise this thing is all business and very clean. Craftsman ship top notch engine was beautiful upon inspection. Ran a few more tanks easy to further break in. Ran it in front of the house in the street did a small tune. Took it to Hot Rod track in so cal and did the final touch up tune. LOVE this thing ran incredible, no issues tons of bottom end was getting over all the triples with ease and ripping the straight as well. My tune temp was about 229. Buying another one. Top notch!!
