The only thing that either of us have ever done to them is replace the bearings after 1-2 gallons with ceramic bearings. TRUTHFULLY!!!!!!!!! The only thing I did not like about the .28, was it was hard to make a 5 min qual on one tank. When my .28 finnaly expired I decided to try the Picco P7R EVO. I am on my 4 or 5 gallon, and I love the motor. 8-9 min runtime, plenty of power, easy tune, consistent, longevity. From what I hear, the only difference between the EVO and the EVO 2 is a small change in crank timing and a massaging of the port timing for a little bit more top end. The EVO had alot of bottom and not so much top, (and when i say not so much top, i mean a very slight difference from the EVO 2). The changes were made to the EVO 2 to try and smooth out the power band for a more even and linear power band. The EVO 2 is going to be my next motor of choice, I may pick one up today from my LHS.
