The Werks Racing GT 5-Port .21 On Road Engine has been developed from the ground up, specifically for GT class racing. Werks designers spent a considerable amount of time tailoring the engine design to provide the strong torque band needed to move the heavier GT vehicles around, while still delivering exceptional mid to high rpm performance. Design optimizations were made to provide class leading fuel economy resulting in a premium GT class engine with the power and quality needed to run at the front of the pack.

Features:
  • 5 port ROAR and EFRA legal cylinder design
  • “Turbo” head button for optimum performance
  • High quality “Swiss” racing bearings used throughout for reliability
  • Lightened, Epoxy Filled & Tungsten Balanced crankshaft for smooth, vibration free operation and improved acceleration
  • Werks signature case design with increased material around the cylinder area to control case expansion for improved sleeve to case fit
  •  Lightened, low weight cooling head design for reduced CG
  • Billet rear back plate to reduce weight and create a more rigid case assembly
  • Improved carburetor heat shield to improve carburetor consistency and reduce possibility of heat saturation
  • Revised carburetor design for easier tuning and improved stability

I've been racing 1/8th Nitro GT (Rally Game) cars for around 13 years now and this is still one of the best engine's out of the box I've ever used. It does seam to be tuned (shimmed) for 16% nitro and if you intend to run her with 25 or 30% Nitro fuel, I would suggest adding 0.1mm shim under the head. Also, once you have initially broken the engine in. Use an OS RP6 or 7 plug (depending on weather) Right there, you will have a very fast engine. Reliable too.

THE WORST ENGINE I EVER HAD

Whilst on the break-in process (fifth tank, didn't even put the car on ground), the piston c-clip went lose and destroyed the combustion chamber. It broke the piston and scored the sleeve. I contacted Werks, which did nothing about it. Now i have this almost brand new engine completely useless. Don´t waste you money on this. *WASN´T BOUGHT ON AMAIN HOBBIES*
