Look forward to see it when you’re finished with it.
You always did build some nice GT cars over the years! [8D]

I think I remember he had one of those big Picco .28's.

He makes some pretty cool videos of his top-speed runs, made the cool Warrior video on youtube too.

He's a "Speed Demon" Bro![8D]

P3 .28
I don't have a speed gun, only thing I know we were doing 60 on my friends 1:1 car and the GT kept pulling away from us. my guess: 60/65 with the stock gears.
heres an old video, same engine, but with a single speed. http://youtu.be/oL3kOlMkR24

I'd like to schedule a GT race at this track in NY next summer.
One lap = 1/4 mile

What do you guys think, any takers? [8D]

That Ipanema body is a lame looking wedge IMO - something 80's-ish about it. The Alpha body is at least good looking and curvy.

Who in this thread even runs a DM-1 btw?

My Feedback: (27)

I almost got the DM-1 a few months ago but descided to get the GTP2e instead because I preffer the conventional suspension over the Revo style laydown suspension on the DM-1. I like simplicity and fewer moving parts. I may still get one sometime. But I don't own one now.

Still have mine, since 2008, just a shelf queen now, with the original 2 speed and clutch bell never stripped a gear and this car has taken a beating, don't know how some people are always messing up the tranny's.

HerrSavage

Well to my surprise the wife ordered me a new engine - one I was hoping to get mostly for the DM-1.. Just arrived, and as I was switching the carb around, I saw the housing had a freakin' hole in it!! I guess Picco and me were just never meant to be...

Blimey, that is pretty poor QC....does the hole go all the way through?

HerrSavage

Yep.. Daylight..

jspeed

It’s called “karma”, lol

Maybe you should contact the “vendor” and allow them to opportunity to replace the defective part or refund your wife’s investment if you haven't already.

If you were able to have a good Picco engine, it might be the best engine you’ve ever had in your DM1.

Just some positive thoughts and actions could help more than giving up on Picco engines; they have won several World Championships. [8D]

HerrSavage

Why do you bother writing anything directed at me? I couldn't care less what you say or think, and that's not going to change. Just saying - so save it.

jspeed

Fellas,

By simply trying to offer “hersavage” some positive advice to help him, his continued rejection to even consider it merely shows every forum reader here of his irrational and vindictive mindset.

Good luck “hersavage”!

Karma rules supreme, doesn’t it? Lol

HerrSavage

Please.. Deluded much? Your advice is worthless. Move along..

Next...

rondondo

Sometimes im amazed by how much of a dick hole ppl are and then u meet jsmug and u feel better cause all those ppl pale in comparison to the colossal ***** that is spewing on this thread

jspeed

There’s no delusion here �hersavage”, well except maybe in your own posts, lo. l.

You posted pictures of an obvious defect in the Picco’s engine that your wife purchased for you in good faith.

Have you contacted the vendor of the engine yet?
How did they respond?

Since you “hersavage” took the time to post those pictures, wouldn’t it be a more positive approach to tell us forum members the final outcome was instead?

Haaa!

HerrSavage

Hey, rediscovered the "block" function.. Still kind of junks up the screen, but much less so than having to read his cxxp....

jspeed

Lol. the "hersavage" approach to reality, lol





So, did "hersavage" ever get around to telling us all the reply from the vendor of that engine his wife bought him?

jspeed

You should try contacting the guy that did it in this youtube video.

Looks like he did it very well. [8D]

oskygt

Jspeed, some people just don't get it.

oskygt

Rodondo, stop jumping on band wagons, stand up on your own 2 feet and stop being such a *****, in a couple of post's you'll be punking out (again), so just fade away if you have nothing constuctive to add here, lead, follow, or get the hell out of the way.

Double post [:@]

I think a few of the guys who did the twin engine DM1 are still around because if i recall those tires on that DM1 are traxxas anacondas (jato)[:-]
