What's the Difference Ofna,Picco,Jammin',Force
Could someone briefly explain the differences of these engines? Who manufactures them? Seems like they are all Ofna offerings but there has to be a ranking of some sort. Thanks

the picco P7R evo 2 and the jammin 21 are the same, and the picco 28 and the jammin 28 are the same.
the jammin 12 is a force engine. Not sure who force is made by. The Hyper engines are made by Hobao.

Family Tree
1)Ho Bao 2) Hong Nor
3)OFNA 4) Jammin
. 5) Picco
6) Force
They're all literillay the same company..
Know for a fact that the Picco's are Italian Crafted beasts, not sure for the Jammin. The Picco's appeal visually to me
And there are some timing differiences in between the Picco & Jammin engines, minute lil' differiences.

RE: What's the Difference Ofna,Picco,Jammin',Force
Are the Picco and Jammin engines both Italian? Are the parts interchangeable between the two? Which one is the better? I've heard that the Picco is the best made engine at the $200.00 mark, or to get better you'll spend nearly twice as much, and that they are a big step up from LRP, Axial, and other sub $200.00 engines. I notice some of the Jammin and Force engines are a lot cheaper than the Picco so I wonder if the quality is there or is the Picco the top of the Ofna line in the states?

In the end, I recommnd that you do not interchange the parts even though they are a perfect fit at room temperatures.
FYI: Ofna is the contracted distributor of Picco. Also, Ofna engines ae made by Force.
Trivia: "Picco" is derived from the Italian word, "piccolo" meaning "small" or "little," which of course our model engine indeed are.
