That's a really bad news

Poor economy + too many engine companies = close the doors.

Unfortunately, this will happen to others companies.

But how can it be with many other brands made by the same company?
It is unclear to me if this is only the Tecnopower engine or the whole production line at Tecnomeccanica

All of the engine companies get less of the pie. Plus people choose to run new brands made in Taiwan and this is just like anything else. Western parts of the world can not compete for the most parts in price with the Asia model.

An OEM brand does not have to carry the investments and experiences you need to manufacture a model racing engine, so it is more easy and less expensive to do in this way, however there are also downsides on this...

The whole production of the TecnoPower engines is stopped as is the production of the OEM engines we produced.

They should fit, all carbs are about the same size, except Picco, they will not fit any engines but Picco.

I just picked up the T02 Tuned version. I am going to run it in a Mugen Truggy. I was wondering what would be a good pipe on this motor. I have a Nova 2096, 086 Ofna, Ninja FLS 053. Also what clust springs work good with this motor. I am running the stock Mugen clutch.


Thanks
Nick

Kind of bummed to hear this...

I am not on a hot streak (or I am, depending on how you look at it). After investing heavily in EB Mods' JS engines, Ed decided to take a dump with the modded JS program. Now after investing money into TecnoPower, Tecno is going under.

If you have any B03T prototypes that were made for test mules, Rody, I'd be happy to take them off your hands (or pay fair price).

I am also very frustrated with this situation but when you run out of funds then you simply cannot continue....
As stated on our website the engine project is for sale and we try to sell it as a whole unit, still is a small chance for TecnoPower to continue...

I am verry sad about the news. Ithink your engines are top 3 ingines in the world. Anyway, can I use the piston/sleeve of the b02t in the b03 engine. Thanks.

No, sorry the sleeve of the B02 or B02T engines are not compatible with the crankcase of the B03 engine. The main problem is that the sleeves have different diameters.
