PICCO .21 BOOST
 

I really like their engines, but man.. is about time they start to update the placement of their idle screw.

Dam, that is sweet looking !

...I think I'm in love:nod:

:lol:

Hopefully we can get our hands on one soon !

a boost port molded into the block. wow i guess there is some merit to the concept afterall.

my guess is that its another picco evo series engine, just a few minor timing differences. Maybe an improved carb.

Italian engine firm Picco have unveiled their new .21 Buggy engine the Boost B01. The 3 port engine is the result of many hours of dedication and testing; key areas of improvement were identified and subsequently worked on. The result is the Boost B01, with much improved fuel economy - vital in racing these days, and drivability; equally important. Factory driver Riccardo Rabitti used the engine at Neo2010, a positive debut finishing 8th overall in the main final. The engine's other featuers include a composite carb with 6 & 7mm venturi, light weight cooling head, large turbo insert and crankshaft with silicon paste.

Guess I am missing the boost port..


Why is the head button so thick? It looks cool, and I am assuming is makes the engine cool better? It looks very very similar tot he OS Speed engine from the outside. Adn with the 3 port sleeve I would assume performs similarly too.. Will be very cool to see the price point on it, and the power #s.. Hope Neal gets a hold of one soon.. I know he can give us the low down on it once he has it in hand.

don't know how it runs, but man that engine looks SWEEEEEETTTT!


does anyone know the specs on it?

so what's going to be the better engine, the boost or this, http://www.teampicco.com/Motori/p7revo4buggy.html ? or even the jammin jpx-21 plus?

Ofna says Picco wont send them so it looks like we are stuck with the evo 3. Picco has 3 new motors the Boost, the Evo 4, and the P3R and we cant get any of them. If enough people bug Ofna they will probably try to get them. Or if enough people ask a big seller like A-Main or Nitro House they will get them some how. I e-mailed A-main and said I would pre-order:D

depends what you consider better...the boost looks like a pretty basic 3 design with a few fancy features...its more then likely a milder engine that gets great mileage....The EVO4 appears to be just another version of the P7 series, And of course the Jammin is also a P7 variant, as you know the P7 is a high output powerhouse of a engine...

Daaaang Marcus, I really hope you're wrong this time around:D ( I mean that in the best of ways too! ) because I'd really be jumping on one of these but with the Clockwork touch, of course.

Hopefully things change. Neal, you already know what I'm thinking:D

Nice looking engine!!

The logo looks...well...familiar....

It will be nice if they can finally move the idle screw on the back of the carb.

Picco has had the skull logo for years.

wow marcus are you sure they're not going to drop any of em in the states? cause that's bogus

I've always liked Picco engines I have 21 EVO 2 and EVO 3. Alot of poeple think OFNA owns them or something like they are just the U.S dist

I know they don't own picco but picco should still ship the darn motors over here. I had one of their RTR 3 ports not to long ago and that little thing ripped. was a great mill for tracks with short run ups

Any body KNOW if they are going to be available in the U.S.

Had a chat about the boost with the Greek importer at the track over the weekend. Picco told him that he will have them available to him in about 2 weeks and that it has a renewed carb, and 2-3 new boost ports that gives it a better linear power band. Still has the classic picco bottom end, its just more smooth right to the top.... Time will tell I guess, I dont think they have no reason to export to the states.
Picco finally realized that the biggest 'game' is in off-road and he shifted his production towards there, hence releasing the 3 new off-road picco engine ;-)

I talked to Nitro House and Ofna and they said that Picco is not sending them, but I am sure if enough people want them they will get them. Neal lives in Canada, can he get them over there?????

wasnt there a engine a while back that featured a boost chamber or some external attachment that could be hooked up to it ?

Nitrohouse and Ofna are both the same poeple

Lots of engines have this. As example in the Novarossi crankcase as with many brands there is a flat round spot at the side of the carb you can drill out for mounting a nipple. SH (and Force) does have some models with this nipple and a chamber in the rear backplate. connected with a a piece of tube.

But maybe I have missed it, where is it written that this Picco has a boostchamber?

I read it as a boost port not chamber

Not same people just same place, they rent space in the Ofna warehouse!!

Last night I saw this engine. Billy Easton was running it, funny. He wasn't saying too much about the engine. (YET) but it sound crisp on the bench. The engine is nowhere in the US and he already got one. Good connections? He was running it in his Serpent Buggy.

Did ya see what pipe was on the Boost.....

It was a PICCO pipe, brand new one. Never seen it before. But it looked like 2053, he was kinda blocking it a bit. I tried talking to him but he was a bit skeptical.

Cheers for the info, Hope this engine puts out as the hype is quite high. Plus Picco being hard to get in the first place......

hmm he might have to I've had good luck with picco's they make absurd power and they ran cool 2. I was always shocked when I took them apart well lubed and clean no nasty carbon build up

I really like my JPX. 21's. Both are running strong. I run mine with an RE10 LOSI pipe. Ballistic.

He did say good things about the PICCO brand, but was skeptical about saying anything else on the BOOST itself. All he say was; is a 3 port with a BOOST CHAMBER. That was pretty much it. He was bench tuning it with a P3 plug.

Why on earth is he running OS plugs on a Picco? They don't have the right taper for the engine.

BEATS ME! :)

The Picco Boost does NOT have a boost chamber. A boost chamber looks like this. I think it has a boost port like the RB shark 9

Like I wrote what he said. Read my comment. It is not a comment I made, but one he made.

Sorry but yes they are the same poeple.

Not the same companies but very closely related.

Owner of Nitrohouse has a stakeholding in Ofna ;)
