This is the new 2026-edition Minicars Works O.S.SPEED R21-M6 3.5cc long-stroke competition engine.
Features:
- NEW 2026: two water cooling heads are included - std volume + a new M-Works head with larger volume!
- DLC coated & balanced R21 Euro-II crankshaft with more timing
- 9-port cylinder liner with 3-port exhaust
- Piston with 3 oil-grooves
- Ceramic main ball bearing
- Reinforced "R" conrod
- Backplate with steel thrust plate for lower friction and increased durability
- No carb included - choose your own carburetor (15mm diameter neck)
Suitable for competition boats (experience level ”high”):
- Offshore (with gear deduction)
- Endurance (with gear reduction)
- The R21-M6 is not recommended for Hydroplanes with direct drive as its too peaky for that application and the extra possible power is not needed.
Recommended fuel:
- 12% nitro fuel with 8% Klotz Benol oil (Recin) + 4% Klotz Original Techniplate (Synthetic)
- We don't recommend running the engine with less oil than the above recommended levels. You may add more recin/castor oil (Klotz Benol) in extreme conditions and heavy loads.
Performance R21-M6 vs R21-M5:
- The R21-M6 has even higher timing numbers in the crankshaft and piston liner.
- The R21-M6 has more peak power but a narrower power-band.
- The R21-M6 is the highest performance out-of-the box engine for gear-reduction applications.
- The R21-M5 is easier to set-up as it's less peaky and have more torque vs the R21-M6.
