Let us know if it can push that D8T around and what kind of fuel mileage you get. What country do you live in??? Do you run 30% nitro. I am going to try this motor when it comes out. I have always been a fan of Picco's but not of the fuel mileage they get.

Good Luck, I heard is like a light switch with no linear power band.

Is the 2042 Picco pipe a 2 or 3 chamber ?

Thats cool but I was told the opposite, I was told it was smooth and got great fuel mileage. Who did you here it was a light switch from Billy in Florida, he is a RB factory driver and I am sure he says RB is the way to go. The whole idea of the picco boost was to smooth out the powerband and get better fuel mileage.

I'm interested to hear the feedback on this engine as well.. Looks awesome, and it is Picco, based so life should be great.. Power and Mileage are biggest questions for me.

Well this looks really nice, i will have to finish the run in on the new modded picco 21 plus and get some milage out of that before i get my hands on one of this engines.

Will also be watching the feed back people are having after getting fuel through the engine on the track, well done picco and to the mod guys i cant wait to see this baby scream in some video footage, wink wink

did two tanks of fuel in the parking lot today, power band feels very linear but it's still at the factory settings.

I use a OS P4 and a 2046 with a long header (best pipe for any Picco)

I have a race this weekend on a astro circuit and will break it in further on Saturday practice, break in is easy like every Picco I owned.

I also had the opportunity to try a evo4 edo and that has also a very linear power band, the new Picco's rock ;-)

btw I'm from the Netherlands

yes there RTR motor was pretty good so by this being a race inspired motor it should be good. I will most def have to try one out...

well change of mind, had some credit at rc mushroom and found they have this engine and they have it at 269.00 for the complete package so i ordered one and it should be here late next week, another picco to the collection

blade954 06-28-2010 10:19 PM

Any news guys how they holding up to the run times and power delivery, Can you compare them to anything else......

mc_knijver 06-30-2010 11:27 AM

raced the boost last weekend, run times where great could do 12 min on a tank and the power is great a little bit like a speed, this was on a high grip super fast astro circuit
