REEDY .21 Nitro Engine
 

Hello Guys,


I just thought I would start a thread for the new REEDY .21 Nitro Engine. I took some in from Neo-Buggy.Net also AE has this topic on their thread as well.


"Spotted at the nationals was a new unnamed engine; Associated's Brent Thielke told Neo-Buggy that the design is by Reedy as part of the Associated engine program. Currently powering Rick Hohwart and Scott Browns' buggys. Stay tuned for more info..."


What do you think? I for one will be getting one to try out. I have had no issues with my V-Specs but you never know what can happen in Nitro, so I want to try one out when they are released.


Thanks
Kevin Boyle

Interesting bolt on carb. I assume it's being made by Thunder Tiger?

I am not shure about it being a TTR mill but I do like the head on it. And me being partial to AE yes I would probably try it also as long as it isnt crazy priced.

i love the way the card bolts on.. better than slotted screws

What if you want to rotate the carb?

that is a good question... does anyone have the answer??

From the looks of it, you can't.

The carb can be rotated enough so that it can be positioned for perfect orientation in any current 1/8 buggy/truggy.

cool thanks rick.. te motor looks sweet.. i just wonder what its goint to cost??

They are not going to be cheap engines but they won't break the bank either. These first two will be pure competition engines from the ground up. Imagine OS V-Spec performance and features, but less expensive. That is the goal.

i wasnt really worried about them breaking the bank! ;-) i am sure that they will be a good quality product for the money just like all other associated/reedy products

How? That is a fixed flange on the carb bolted on a fixed engine case. Just curious........

DLC Coating and quality are very imortant.

You can't tell from the pic, but the carb holes are slotted.

Thanks Rick,
I was looking at that more to see how after I asked and slotted holes would work. Nice, guarantees nice tight fit with gasket and no high temp silicone needed.
