Screamer17 Posted March 25, 2005 Author Share Posted March 25, 2005 yes its sweeet ! I'd just took the gearbox out a few minutes ago and found all the gearbox clutch screws were loose! and there was some liquid in there aswell, must have been the reason for the bad gear changes!

Screamer17 Posted March 26, 2005 Author Share Posted March 26, 2005 Check the compression of the engine, if its really easy to turn over its either new piston and liner needed or new engine. As for new engine you could go with the new Picco .27 that has just come out. Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzi220 Posted March 26, 2005 Share Posted March 26, 2005 Its always been a tight...tight engine but over the past few months its got way easier to pull off and the noise has gotten alot worse, its sounds more like a diesel van now! whats the price of the picco? are they as easy to tune like the hpi engines?

Screamer17 Posted March 26, 2005 Author Share Posted March 26, 2005 Have you ever serviced the engine eg. strip it for inspection, coz i done that to my t-15 and was shocked lol http://www.ofna.com/eng-picco-27.html this is what i have at the moment awsome!! and cheap for a picco aswell! http://www.modelsport.co.uk/?CallFunction=...on&ItemID=14466 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
