Zitat: From the looks of things this info and photos have leaked onto the net a bit earlier than planned, as Horizon, Losi and Orion's sites have yet to mention the product. Expect Mike Truhe to be running the engine at the Nitrocross this weekend. The Orion CRF Truhe Edition 21 engine is focused on the needs of today's competition 1/8 buggy and truggy enthusiasts. This engine offers a unique blend of speed, torque and fuel economy all while providing horsepower necessary for drivers to excel on today's demanding off-road circuits. The Orion CRF 21 Mike Truhe Edition (MTE) is the result of collaboration between Orion engine designer Adrian Bertin and world-class Losi driver Mike Truhe, which delivers an engine featuring an ideal blend of speed, torque and fuel economy. The patented CRF crankshaft improves drivability while the 5-port ABC piston and cylinder provides the horsepower necessary for drivers to excel on today’s demanding off-road circuits. A custom-machined and lightened cylinder head, aluminum twin-needle, slide-valve carburetor with multiple venturi inserts and an aerospace-quality ceramic rear bearing complete this powerhouse. This will be available as an engine alone or in a nitro kit which includes an EFRA-legal tuned pipe and manifold. Update: The engine will only be available from Horizon/Losi distributors throughout the world. Initial deliveries begin in November.
