Nice.
They've had a tapered low end needle for a while and used it over in the .26+/- sport engines...glad to see they've finally put one over in the race engine.
This comment cracked me up though. The guy is right about a 1-piece cooling better; but acting like it's some new idea

It does not take long until we see a one piece head/combustion chamber, it is the only way to cool the engine at its maximum.

At over twice the price of the Picco, it had better be a damn good engine! I'm going by amain prices, I know they can be had for cheaper...
Fact is, the Picco is an amazing engine for the price. The Evo3 is $250 at amain, I would expect the Evo4 to fall in a similar price range.

Lets see, the Picco costs about half as much
As a Speed. The Picco engines are known to
have crankshafts that are made from some of
the toughest metal there is and will outlast any
O.S. crankshaft made, coated or not. So I would
have to give "The Best Bang For The Buck" award
to the Picco. Don't get me wrong, I own a JX .21,
which shares some of the same internal parts that
are in the Speed. It is one great engine, but I know
it will never last for as many gallons as my Picco based
engines without spending some serious money on replace-
ment parts. I know for a fact that there is no, the best,
nitro engine. Thats why I so have many engines in my arsonal.

I just got back my Jammin 21 Plus from customer service ! Less than one gallon on this engine with orginal plug, and thier is a problem with the conrod and crank, not even blown up , just noticed from first tank of break in, a little free play. I preheated ,and have ran nitro for years, and had great luck with all the engines that I have had. This is my third Jammin, and I think it will be a self queen from here, becuase they wont do any thing for me. I will be giong back to Novarossi .
