Features that influences the outstanding performance of the factory tuned O.S. SPEED 21VZ-B V-Spec engine.

A special DLC coated crankshaft with a pressed in Tungsten disc in the counterweight for improved balance and a lower level of vibration.

A heat sink cylinder head precision machined from magnesium. This is the first time any model engine manufacturer has equipped an engine with a heat sink head machined from magnesium which is about 15% lighter than aluminum.


A special T-2060WN tuned silencer developed especially for the Speed 21VZ-B V-Spec engine utilizes a welded on pressure nipple.

Precision ceramic ball bearing is incorporated which greatly reduces frictional losses -the same type of bearings that are used in full size racing car engines.

Three carburetor venture inserts are available in 7, 8 and 9mm throat diameters. The inserts have a red anodized finish - the O.S. SPEED brand color with throat diameter laser marked on each insert.

In 1/8^th Scale Gas Buggy Racing more than high power alone is involved. The engine must have excellent ease of handling and operating characteristics, accelerate smoothly and respond to the driver's smallest throttle stick movements. Tires with maximum grip for the terrain and road surface being used are another contributing factor as is the driver's ability. These factors combined result in the driver placing in the winners circle.

In the 1/8^th Scale Off-Road Buggy World Championships held in Jakarta, Indonesia this past August 28th through September 3rd, the various makes of engines had a chance to show which was superior.

These features in conjunction with a double adjustment carburetor result in an engine that under such exacting conditions, reaches the pinnacle of World Competition. This secret weapon will be sure to catapult your 1/8^th Scale Off-Road Buggy into a World Class vehicle.
