I used to get flack all the time for saying that LOL ! But you truly cannot understand till you drive a modified Picco .21 for yourself...Once you get used to the feel of the Picco all the other motors feel very tame and often times gutless...The Picco has a very unique feel to it, and once you get used to that feel it is almost difficult to get used to other engines....So far after all the engines we have tested we have found nothing that has anywhere near the snap the Picco has....Its not the engine for everybody, but if you tend to be a trigger blipper the Picco is among the best...Not an engine for a trigger bleeder IMO...
Although I have become a lot smoother, which has helped my driving. Damn I should've asked for sticker when you sent the plugs and gasket out. I'll get them next time.

You guys all make me laugh! John, I'm really impressed...those look way cool! James, you may have a fight on your hands for the crown of slowest CRE Team driver...the verdict's yet to be determined until I can actually get my new mill on the track. Carlos, I'll wear that with honor...r/c geek all the way baby!!

Dont forget about old mate from over the pond when you are dishing out team stickers!
A big well done to the CRE boys for the great results last weekend! By the sounds of it you guys had a blast, and got a few more people thinking about getting clocked!

I have to admit I have walked up to my truck thinking it has flamed out only to realize it's idling. Its idles so low and quiet it takes a little getting use to. I don't know what you do Neal to make these things idle like this but it's great.
This is the 1st motor to push my Fioroni clutch past its limits. I'm not sure if I will continue running it [Fioroni], but I have had to drastically change the clutch setup. next outing I'm going to put some real runtime on it and see if it holds. If not, I will need the M2C setup.

which Fioroni because I have run the turbo slide on a full mod 24, Nova 528 and RB C6, but nothing has put a hurting on it like the CRE Evo 3. it seems like its the RPMS thats hurting it the most, but this motor pulls where others top out it seems. It was perfect on my stock K9.

Tho we didn't have luck with it, you still have to recognize that many people have had great success with that clutch....So it just comes down to different clutches work best with different engines....

yeah, I'm having a problem. 1/2 thottle I'm going as fast as everyone else. Full throttle and I'm wheel spinning past them lol! My track is not big enough to really open up the CRE Evo 3. Its a little frustrating and all I'm going to do is swell my front tires at the guy in front of me and see if he gets out the way. I will be placing an order soon for the clocked JL and put the Picco to the side for the international finals. This thing just wants to show its arse lol.

you should really like the feel of the M2C setup....with full weights on the flywheel and the right shoe setup it will give you a very usable powerband..The weighted flywheel will make the engine much more tractable out of the corners, it will allow you to plant more power with less tire spin....

I have less then 4 tanks (rained today) on my jpx and it has gobbs of power. All i have done is a couple hours on the low end and that is it. I am wondering if i will have to touch the hsn at all. +2 on the idling, purrs like a cat. Now i know where the extra millege comes from, open the throtle just a quater and i am flying. And it is suprisingly very easy to tune, easiest break in yet. Another couple tanks and i will be done. I also think i may never have to shim down to .1 and stay at .2
went and bought the short header for the ofna 86 (remember i have the dynamite pipe) like you suggested neal. The sticker with my name on it made me lol, very cool touch to say the least!!!
could not be happier.
