Shimo is using the new 21XZ-R O.S. Engine


Used by Takaaki Shimo and other drivers, OS Speed have their new .21 engine here called the 21XZ-R. Featuring all new crankcase internals, as well as new crankshaft and piston liner, they have created a motor with more torque and better fuel economy.

The fuel economy is proving an advantage as Shimo is inside the top 4, running only one stop. The engine also sports a lightweight cooling head which is lower than its predecessor, coming down over the crankcase. Its available from next month.

Mark Pavidis and the New OS 19XZ-B Engine


OS came in under the radar with the release of their unconventional but innovate .19 engine (the standard buggy engine is .21), one of their team drivers Mark Pavidis has been closely involved with the development of this engine, we met up with Mark and he told us a bit more about it.

The first prototype was tested at Revelation a few months before the worlds, at the worlds practice we attended I ran two newer versions of the .19 with great success. For the LARGE track the .21 was the best option at that track. I had asked O.S. early last year that I felt there was a need for a smaller engine as the cars now a days are at minimum weight and most of the time the cars are all over powered not delivering the power to the tires efficiently. I have ran the engine at all the Local tracks here Thunder Alley, Revelation and ARC with great success.

Tracks with large jumps that still require a lot of power very quickly such as this year’s nitro challenge the new .21 Speed was the engine of choice. But for example at this year’s Motorama the track was a little slippery and needed a smoother power delivery where the .19 was a perfect fit. Also the .19 the cooling head is smaller and the handling of the car is noticeably improved.

I really feel this is a great move for O.S. going to the smaller bore .19 engine. This shows O.S commitment to the off road buggy category once again. Everyone that knows O.S. engines knows that it is the standard that all other engines are judged by. Power, Fuel economy and the ease of tuning. All of these characteristics are key to the success of the O.S. brand. O.S. may not be the cheapest engine in the hobby shop but like I tell anyone that asks me you get what you pay for.

New nVision Engine @ Nurnberg 2011

It's not everyday that we have a chance to see some new radical engine design. This nVision engine looks way too cool!

While not represented in their own booth directly, nVision, the engine brand that has signed up some major drivers including Yannick Aigoin, Martin Bayer, Daniel Vega, Mike Truhe & Matt Castellano, have some presence here at the toy fair through their new distributor Kyosho Germany. We've been waiting the Nürnberg Fair to get an official release and full internal shots of the engine line but we did talk to Adrien Bertin, the man charged with developing the CRF based engine, and we are now looking forward to seeing what the new brand can offer.
 
As you can see from the photos, the fuel enters the crankshaft as normal but is sent into the combustion chamber through the 4 holes on the crankshaft end plate. The ensures that the fuel is thrown directly up into the liner more efficiently, instead of being splashed off the back plate. We were also told that the NVB521R race spec is the only engine of the two to be announced to feature this new crankshaft.
