While most may associate "Reedy" with the hand-crafted electric motors of yesteryear or their top-of-the-line brushless power plants of today, the R/C propulsion experts have proven they can make power with fuel as well, and their next tool for doing so has finally arrived.

Reedy had the following to say about their highly-anticipated mill:

"The long-awaited Reedy 121VR-ST Competition Nitro Engine has finally arrived! Extensively track-tested by Reedy factory drivers such as Ryan Maifield, Craig Drescher, Neil Cragg, and Richard Saxton, the VR-ST incorporates state-of-the-art features in a proven package.

The current 121VR engine has proven to be an economically priced, powerful race engine. The 121VR-ST takes performance to an entirely new level with the addition of a balanced ADLC-coated crankshaft, ceramic rear bearing, lightweight piston, and ADLC-coated wrist pin. An ultra-lightweight heatsink head with "diamond cut" fins improves cooling while lowering the center of gravity.

The 121VR-ST is a race-proven engine that is capable of producing world-class power and fuel economy with a driver-friendly linear power band."
