Q5-TE is the new Capricorn Competition racing engine .21 Off-Road class.

Engine has been updated and TUNED in all his internal parts.

Majored and optimized underhead for a better heatsink and thermal efficency.

Crankshaft has been hand modified and polished.

P&L timing has been revised and Maximized for maximum performances.

Rear Ceramic Bearings.

Black customized Cranksase

new 5 port engine features extra porting work on the liner, while the lightened crankshaft has also been polished and sports a large turbo scoop.
Long stroke based off the Kanai Evo4 we have not tested it on the dyno yet but all I can tell you this motor is very fast compared to the Kanai Evo3 that I have run in the past providing great runtime.

I ran one for a bit that was modded my Murnan and the motor was sick. I really enjoyed running the motor until I ran a MM Novarossi +4. Capricorn is a very very good motor, just not quite as amazing as Murnan's modded +4.

If I remember correctly they were around 830-9. I never really messed with the motor for runtime. Just wanted awesome power. Definitely liked the motor tho.

OK Thanks. I think I may not get the modded version. Hopefully the standard one will run close to it.
