Description

High performance at realistic prices, Mega engines are made for Serpent by Picco Micromotori in Italy. The new Mega ZX12 DSII features some new performance and durability enhancements to create a better overall engine for in your 200mm chassis.

Crankcase

This grey anodised crankcase has been forged from high grade aluminium and is therefore very strong and highly durable. The design incorporates many cooling fins to keep the temperature under control whilst the internal porting ensures optimised gas flow.

To ensure a perfect seal, when the carburretor is mounted, the opening for the carb has been fitted with a rubber o-ring whilst to enable the smoothest possible movement of the crankshaft the casing has been fitted with Swiss-made high quality bearings. For looks, the side of the crankcase sports the new Mega Symbol on the front side and the ZX12 logo on the rear side.

Cooling Head

This beautiful Orange anodised cooling head features 7 cooling fins for regulating the temperature of your engine. The head has been machined around the edges to allow access to the engine mount screws as well as to make it look nicer. On top of the cooling head is the Mega Symbol, ZX12 logo, DSII logo and the engine categorisation symbols, all laser etched.

Low type head for lower center of gravity.

Crankshaft

Made from high strength steel the crankshaft is finished to the highest standard. It has a large bore intake which is optimised to best accomodate the fuel flow as well as a turbo scoop on the black anodised bellcrank that forces the fuel into the combustion chamber. The entire crankshaft has been made using a harder, more wear resistant, material which increases the durability of not just this part, but the entire engine.

Carburettor

This easy to adjust 2 needle carburettor maintains its needle settings, regardless of temperature, thanks to its design and the materials used in its construction.

Piston & Conrod

This super lightweight piston has been machined from high grade aluminium and features 2 rings around its circumference for aiding lubricaton. The piston has been made using true ABC (aluminium piston, brass sleeve with chrome plating) construction for ultra long usage with little or no visible wear.

The new conrod has been made of a different material than that of previous versions and the latest design sees more material around the big end, which provides more strength for this area. Another improvement is that the piston pin is now hollow which means a considerable reduction in oscilating mass.

Sleeve

This 3 port high-density hard-chromed sleeve, offers incredible durability coupled with highly effective porting ensure that maximum revs are achieved as well as producing a wide power band.

Combustion Chamber

Made from the finest quality alloy this combustion chamber is precision made to ensure a perfect seal even under extreme temperatures. Mega 6 Glow plug is supplied to aid running in (When racing we recommend Mega 7 Cold #200171).

Backplate

The crankcase backplate is cast and features a 0-ring groove and 2 aerodynamic lugs for improved mixture flows and lubrication.
