conrod
 

hi,
just to check:

1. is the conrod same for .12 evo3STI and evo4STI?
2. can i use the conrods from siim or capricon? since they're sirio based...:weird:

The conrods are different from the evo3 & evo4
Im not sure about the siim but if you have an evo4 you can use the capricorn since it is based off of the evo4

Hi Guys,

could somebody please post pictures of a sleeve and crankshaft of a S12 EVO4 STI

Thanks a lot.

You have PM :sneaky:

According to a reliable source in the U.S., it is believed that Kyosho and Team Orion have begun working with Star Motor Engineering, the Italian engine plant that makes Sirio, to produce their newest range of engines under the Team Orion label. Following the recent departure from the company by Andrea Rossi, it is understood that former employee and current Team Orion engine man Adrien Bertin moved in to take over production, essentially continuing on the work he did 2 years previously when he worked at the company. Kyosho, who had a strong relationship with Sirio in the past, had that relationship come to an end regarding supply of motors to their race team in mid 2007, but the distribution of engines by the Japanese company had continued in certain markets. The CRF engines, which use their patented special crankshaft, will continue to be made by Picco in Italy. It is also understood that the Sirio brand name will no longer exist following this deal. We expect an official announcement in or around the Nuremberg toy fair at the beginning of February.

I have heard a roumor that the next CRF will be produced by Sirio.

With the Neurnberg toyfair ahead it is exciting to see all the changes and if this one is also true.

NANO-> Picco is the sole manufacturer for CRF engines.

mmm interesting!....

So does this mean that the next engine will be the called the CRF Sirio Orion .12 STI :confused::sneaky:

well hopefully there quality of there engines will go up a notch because they are far behind novarossi in that department but if they could put the two together these sirios would be the best engines on the market because they have never had a problem with makeing power box stock out of the box the siros second to none in the top speed department.

Read again :)

i dont say no...
we will see!

what's the actual difference between evo3 and evo4 rods? i mean how to tell evo3 rod from evo4 rod? length, hole size or...

in addition, i noticed that evo and sti rods are of different p/n; what's the difference? :weird:

Can you explain to me why Orion is infiltrating Sirio (Star motors) and still let their top engine with all kind of innovations (whats left of it) produced by Picco? Sounds like a kind of odd to me......

Hostile takeover of one of the engine manufacturer that can make an engine faster than Picco?

Lets wait until the Neurnberg Toyfair.

I also find this very strange, and actually can't really believe that Picco will continu producing these engines, unless there is still a contract for 2009....

And there is actually not much more we can do, but wait and see.... :D
