Novarossi has published the first images of the new off-road buggy BX3 3-Ports Short Stroke Engine. The motor uses a carburetor (reverse type) made from plastic/allumium with a sliding throttle valve.

The sleeve has 3 transfer ports to supply a linear power output and to keep fuel consumption low. The crankshaft is manufactured with a larger bore intake to increase the mixture flow; and has a special shape to optimise gas-flows in the engine.

The glowplug of engine is a Turbo type. Turbo glowplugs have a different shape to Standard glowplugs and therefore are not interchangeable.
