New OS Max Buggy engine - Possible VZ replacement?
O.S. Engines has announced a second generation .21 VZ-B V-Spec engine for competition buggy racing. Presumably following in the footsteps of the VZ-R, the new VZ-B is sure to include technology that will further enhance performance. Information is scarce at the moment, but I sure hope they resolved the piston problem.

Researching the VZ-B V-Spec a little...
Found out that the carb is supposedly back to a 2-needle carb w/two
inserts (8mm and 9mm), turbo plug head, same bore & stroke as VZ-B,
billet piston. No idea about the p/s composition or if it has been
changed.
Also, it says for sale May 2004 so I'm guessing that means sale in
Japan. We probably won't get 'em in the US 'till the fall if that's
true.

I figured that would be the case after reading OS is going to can the cast pistons entirely.On the bright side it looks cool...

obscure looking head....those fins are going to break off even easier now, probably trying to get the air to flow down and over the glow plug.
