This morning I called the German Sirio distributor about the article on RedRC. He turned around and called Andrea Rossi who in turn was quite surprised that he's supposed to not work in his company anymore.

He then contacted Eoghain to update the rumour :lol:

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.

Hi guys,

is there a simple way to put a Sirio EVO 4 STI in a Mugen MTX4????:confused:

I have tried to mount one in my car and the carburator slide is hitting my top deck completely.

Do I have to butcher the radio plate or raise the engine?

Thanks

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:

Stefan did you try to change the angle on the carb to clear the deck

Yep! I have had many different engines in that car but never a Sirio. I angled the carb away from the tank as usual and I also rotated the uniball.

The entire carb seems to sit quite a bit lower than on Nova or Picco engines.

I guess I will have to take some material off the radio plate and also shim up the motor a tad.
