Has anyone degreed out the new crank? I would be curious to know if it has the same timing as a Picco crank or not.

is CRF Crank

I know it's a CRF crank. I'm curious to know if the CRF's port timing is the same as a Picco crank.

unknow this time !

Motor is very fast tested it out @ the GLC awesome runtime anyone who gets this motor will surely not be disappointed.

Says someone with a Kyosho icon under his name.....

I think there is a lot of work to be done, the current worlds in Portugal is a nice way to find out if the Orion is OK....

What temp should the engine be running at? Now iam at 105 deg.celsius

I hope they don't have the rod issue the rest of the picco line has. Thats the only big problem the picco based motors have.

the motor is verry fast george ran one and it looked good

What Picco's are blowing rods ? I run them in offroad and have had zero issues... in fact I have blown Sirio's and GRP's but the Picco's are as solid as a rock..... faster then all the others as well

The on-road .21's had some issues around the time of the Serpent deal but they seem to have them straight now. I also recall seeing a rash of .12's throwing rods left and right but that was many years ago.

We had one running at a race today and it was not the slightest bit faster than the regular Picco Evo 3's, jut € 50 more expensive...

Try running a Red Dot 12. or a IDM 12.for a little more then 3/4 gallon. Myself and 3 others here in Fl. have had them expire before 1 gallon of fuel. Yes,, we know how to tune a motor. I AM NOT BASHING THESE MOTORS, just hoping the issue will get fixed. thats why most of your LHS tell u to replace the rod before a gallon.

Someone who ran it & gave his opinion not beause of his Icon so don't be a hater. A..H...

It's becoming common practice to replace rods after break in with all motors. Sure with some motors you can get by without doing it but it's still a good idea. Break in really puts a strain on the rod.
