Though they are not made for Piccos, they work perfectly in them. That's why IDM engines are Picco based but the plugs are LM. As I said earlier, the IDM versions should be available from Jerry at Shepherd America/XS power, he is the IDM importer.

An od 77t is a hot offroad plug so you could probably use something like a Werks or Orion 5 or 6, readily available from Amain and many other places. I think even Ashford may have them now.

His website is still a little thin but you can email him.

In the Dutch nationals the Torque engines are fast. Steven Cuypers running a Picco powered MRX5 can outperform RickV with a Flash powered MRX5. Ilia van Gastel was also very fast running a Mega, although the Mega is still with the DS4 it would not suprise me if he was running a Torque setup.

On the other hand there was one guy who could not get the engines right and had excanged them again for Novarossi. I know a lot of things were tryed. As he did bought 3 of them at the same time I asume there could be a bad production serie as well.

Well i don't think you can judge only by what is going on in Holland. In USA they haven't won any major race in a long time.

In Italy, the RC Mecca, Novarossi is always dominating.

Talking about off the shelf engines, I think Picco has made a huge improvement in the last couple of years, but it still a hit and miss. From time to time you find a really good engine, that has the perfect fit and last a long time, but with Novarossi you always have same quality and performance.

Novarossi is still #1 in quality and consistency in my opinion

True that Picco hasn'd been always reliable and consistence which is still affecting their bussiness today. But from what I have seen with Novarossi in the last years it seems they are going backwards with the qiality.

Agreed. Not saying Nova is bad, they are still great but they have slid back to the rest of the field recently while others seem to be improving.

Visually, there's no difference.
