RE: Picco engines
He slipped a Mickey in on us! I did not know he had a foreign truck! I have zero experience with that chassis, it looks like an on road header for the left side might be better though.

RE: Picco engines
Are all they pipes the same in performance or is the dynamite and fastrax no good. Got my engine today WOW very nice with the low head ran 1 tank just along the ground at 1/4 throttle opening and shutting the throttle slowly very nice running fired up straight away and was easy to keep cool at around 180 degrees then I would throttle for a bit longer taking it upto 195 to 205 then just punching the throttle quicklyon and off at 1/4 throttle colled down to 180 then back upto around 217 then I cooled it down to 192 then shut it off cooled it to 135 then fired it up again and used the other 1/2 a tank at around the 185 to 195 mark. This engine is far superior in quality than my Axial 32 the piston looks like it is pollished and the cylinder also very nice metal. the axial is much rougher finnished the cylinder also you can see that the metal is not as solid and consistant. Even on run in on the the first it seems to be more responsive and pics up very quick. it camewith no plug and no paper work but for £116 I can't complain.

OFNA would be my first choice with the Dyn second. I don't know about the fastrax but as you cansee in the photos it's shaped differentlooks to be a little fater doesn't it? I would also run the OFNA Picco plughttp://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...4&I=LXGPN3&P=K You don't have to buy it here just a link...

RE: Picco engines
I have been buying lots of five or ten from Hopmeup on Ebay, 4.87 and 3.60 shipping, but addtional items ship free. I have tons of foams, I keep breaking the plastic lid that covers the end of the fitler. Running a body more often would stop some of that. Glen

RE: Picco engines
I've run about 1/3 of a gallon through my car wow this thing is powerfull still on factory needle setting and it's faster than my Axial serous power I can't wait to run it in and get the shim out andput some 30% through it with a good pipe. Very stable temps and usually it stays around the 195 to 225 mark I have been using full throttle the last 3 tanks to keep the temp up but only for short bursts the carb has not leeked yet but I am waiting. the needle housing on mine is black rather than beeing silver also the short head is great but it needs cooling from the front as the hyper st shell is too hight. The temp usually rises to 235 to 240 and will keep going if you let it. But very impressed going to try a 17 tooth clutchbell with a new clutch see how fast I can get it to go.

The 26 uses the same bearing as the 27 and yes it happened to me quite often. Im betting that the crack runs right in the notch for the crankshaft and to me that is where the problem is because the notches are square. They fixed this on the 28 by making the notches round therefor eliminating the weak point. Thing is the flange is wider on the 28 bearing so it wont fit in the 26 27 engines.
My solution for this was to place a 27 and a 28 bearing back to back on a one way shaft and with a bench grinder carefully remove the excess material. A little smoothing down and its a perfect fit. Im hoping this will be a permanent fix but considering I've never had problems with the bearing in my 28 Im pretty confident.

anyone else running the picco .26 having problems with there one way bearing cracking on them. once the housing is cracked they don't bit enough under compression to start the engine anymore. just wondering if anyone else has had this problem and if or what there solution was.....

I found a better solution The one way bearing from the 28 will not fit the 26 or 27 without modification. They use the same bearing. But the 28 backplate will fit both the 26 & 27 allowing the use of the 28 bearing

RE: Picco engines
Well I was running more fuel through my engine and was going to order a jamin 086 pipe until I bought a Schumacher filter to go with the colour of my engine. I was at a dusty track with a new and oiled filter with the tie wraps fitted and 3 tanks in the engine it failed to start. and once I went home and checked it the next day the engine was full of dust and my engine is destroyed no compresion at all and the best thing is this engines carb did not leak. I figured out that the filter is not that well designed it does not compress the inner filter enough and when you put the outer one on you get alift on the inner one which lifts it up so you have a gap on the inner one. when you try to stretch it down you get the same at the top. Schumacher want to see the engine and I'm hoping they do something but not really that confident they will. I cannot believe my luck so I went out and replaced it with a Falcon rs .28 engine basicly a Ninja MR28. I've went through 3 engine now a Macstar 28 it just eventually wore out the Axial well that destroyed itself after 2 to 3 gallons and the Schumacher got around 4 litres not even half way run in. If this next engine goes wrong I don't know what I'll do maybe buy a Playstation 3 instead or get back into planes.

RE: Picco engines
Well I've been away for a while gents two months of 13 hr nightshifts!! and haven't hardly ran theSavy much. The last couple of tries were a little frustrating, brought it to work to rip around in the parking lot(trying to get a couple fellas interested to have somebashing buddies) and go figure the locknut for the spur kept loosening. So I replaced it 2 days ago andwas quite happy as the picco has seemed to finally broke in to its sweetspot!! Well after carving out yet another jump in the yard went to try it and the spur melted before I could even give it a rip.Pulled themotor out and found that the motor plate wascracked and bent probablyfrom a nasty wipeout about two months ago. Sometimes this hobby can drive a guy nuts, I've got almostan entire trucks worth of parts but never the one I need. Waitingagain in Washington!

RE: Picco engines
Well you won't believe it after my Picco getting all that dirt through it I got the Falcon r2 .28 /ninja mr .28. And after about a gllon and a half it was going like stink unbelievable revs and power. But I hit a rock sticking out the ground which ripped the battery off and the car got stuck on full throttle hit a bush that flipped it on it's roof and blew the engine. GUTTED
I got a spear one cheap but I have to say this is getting expensive might go for an O.S 28xz next.
