We plan to be on the scene with an upgraded version of the RRE ECOtec as well. Our objective is, and always has been, to provide a modern, state of the art engine featuring improved fuel efficiency, longer duty cycle and better driveability at lower cost than conventional designs. Our current engine features a factory stock rotating assembly and sells for $11K, air filter to muffler. It has proven to be perhaps a little better than we expected vs. traditional Midgets even though that is not what it was designed for. Our ST2 engine will be intended to run competitively with the Esslinger EST and ST.
The ECOtec has tremendous potential. What we want to do, is bring something out that is competitive, durable and very affordable. We don't want to turn this into yet another very high powered, expensive, fragile Midget engine. What would be the point of that? So, our hope here is that somehow, some sanity will return to Midget racing and an engine capable of running with the 330HP ST/EST motor will be all you need to go have some fun and be competitive. If we can find a way to do that, I think the sport can start growing again.
