No, compared with P Torque, Sonic and Reds.
P Toque got not tear drop and silicone filled in cranksahft, Sonic and Reds almost identical in mod work, expect Reds engine case can drect fit Nova manifold.

Not Vox, they are still based on P7R-Evo4....

Picco Torque Edo modified has the teardrop and silicone in the shaft.

Picco Torque 2012 also has the balanced crank shaft....

Just to add on the Reds have matched piston sleeves similar to what max power does for novarossi. This and the work from rossi can help explain the price difference in the motors....

Default Sonic .12 problem

Any .21 Sonic user experienced:
-Carb leak? (Silicone sealant solved it)
-tapping noise from uneven torque on head bolt? (I tried many time to tighen the head, no help!!!!)
-Gummed in the pinch zone? (Not sure related to uneven torque on head bolt)

Don't have a Sonic but I have the new IDM RCW Modified and I noticed the tapping noise too. It seemed to go away once the engine was warm so I didn't worry about too much. Still weird because it doesn't happen on the stock IDM RCW. They both are fast though so time will tell.

I found the problem last night, I unstall the heat sink, and I double check all the bearings before reinstall the engine.
I found the head and sleeve have little movement in between, I have to carefully torque the bolts evenly. I think the head and sleeve is not align properly. Now, the pinch zone towards TDC is smoother.

They're not making the V21B yet? Man, that'd look great in an MBX6R.
