Great engines! I'm running the .12 EMX-WC since the worlds in Thailand and it is absolutely fantastic. Blew my novarossi Virtus engines out of the water in every aspect from power to run time to consistency. I'll be replacing my .21's with PICCO engines for the 2015 season.

The latest 2015 engines are ballistic! The best news is that they also get great mileage and are priced right.

Do the .12 emx-wc need to be modded or is already modded by Edmond

It doesn't need to be any faster than it is, it IS ballistic!
I don't need any .21s right now, but as soon as I do Im getting a Picco, I saw one run a couple weeks ago, ballistic is the right word...

Congrats Desoto great to hear. Time to place a stocking order.

When will you have more offroad .21 engines?

Already done by Edo. It is ballistic right out of the box. There is no need to do anything to them. I get 5:45 runtime out of mine as well!

You won't be sorry. I have now had the chance to test both the .21 on road and the GT engine in a 977 and a Cobra GT. Wow the power delivery is insane and so useable. Picco really have got it right this time...

You're asking the wrong people. None of us have said that simply that the engine is ballistic out of the box and has already been 'tuned' at the factory. Personally speaking it is the best engine out of the box I've ever had and I've had a lot of engines Nova's, Picco's and OS engines...
