$389.99 
SKU: REDCOBU0017B

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, and 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, and 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 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 feature 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.
