Team Orion engines may be similar to Picco but actually have a lot of differences, mainly because of the CRF technology.

The Team Orion engine development is done by Adrien Bertin and the engines are manufactured following his directives. Continuous R&D on the engines ensures that they are competitive and feature all the latest developments in the RC car engine field. For obvious reasons we are not going to change things that work perfect they way Picco makes them...

Timing on the crankshaft is different because of the CRF technology and the liner timing is also slightly modified.
