REDS Buggy engine 721 GEN5 Superveloce DLC Ceramic
REDS Buggy engine 721 GEN5 Superveloce DLC Ceramic for 1/8 buggy and truggy
REDS Racing 721 Superveloce™ GEN5
REDS Racing is proud to introduce the 721 Superveloce™ GEN5, the most accomplished and refined evolution of the Superveloce platform in its 5th generation.
The GEN5 is the result of targeted development focusing on the internal fluid dynamics, the crankshaft timing and the piston sleeve assembly, as well as the introduction of a new 9 mm carburetor, with a clear objective: increase power without increasing fuel consumption.
Performance is up, while range remains strictly identical to that of the original Superveloce, a long-recognized benchmark for efficiency.
Key technical evolutions of the GEN5
Optimized internal fluid dynamics
The redesigned internal millings improve the quality of the air/fuel mix and the stability of combustion. The result is a more fluid power delivery, a faster throttle response, and extremely consistent performance over long distances.
Revised crankshaft timing and cylinder
The crankshaft and the transfer timing have been completely redesigned and optimized to:
- Increase performance at mid- and high RPM ranges
- Offer a higher maximum power
- Maintain excellent ease of handling
- Maintain fuel consumption identical to that of the original Superveloce
More performance, with no compromise on consumption.
New 9 mm carburetor
The GEN5 introduces a new carburetor with a 9 mm bore, designed to:
- Increase overall engine performance
- Facilitate and stabilize tuning
- Offer a wider and more forgiving carburation range
As a result, the engine is significantly easier to tune. Performance can still be optimized thanks to larger venturis, up to 8.5 or 9.0 mm, depending on the layout and track conditions.
One engine, two classes
The 721 Superveloce GEN5 is designed to cover 1/8 Buggy and Truggy applications with a single powerplant platform, thus simplifying the choice for drivers competing in multiple categories.
Full DLC configuration: crankshaft and rear cover
The 721 Superveloce GEN5 adopts a fully DLC configuration, combining a Black Diamond DLC crankshaft with a traditional DLC rear backplate.
This solution guarantees excellent reliability, a reduction in friction and better cost control, without compromising performance. The traditional DLC rear crankcase has demonstrated exemplary robustness and consistency in all race conditions.
The RTX rear backplate remains available as an option for pilots seeking a different power feel or an even more precise setup, depending on the track and driving style.
Optional components
To keep a high-performance base engine ready for competition:
- The Airboost and RTX rear covers are available as options
- The 11-fin cooling head for high temperatures is offered as an option
This modular approach allows pilots to tailor the engine configuration precisely to the circuit, climate, and their driving style.
On-track performance
The 721 Superveloce GEN5 offers:
- A smoother, more controllable acceleration thanks to improved torque delivery
- A higher top speed with a wider operating range
- The same excellent range that made the original Superveloce renowned for efficiency
- Consistent and reproducible performance on long finals
Small improvements for big results.
The GEN5 philosophy is simple: more power, with the same consumption. An engine easier to tune, more versatile and optimized for real racing conditions. A no-compromise engine, designed for drivers demanding maximum performance, reliability and efficiency.
