    Probably thought the issue was petty and he'd contributed alot.

    HAS ANYONE HAD THIS HAPPEN? - Picco 28 P3 failure

    yeah unfortuantly (or fortunatly) its not my engine. Although I did help install it for the guy and help break it in the warranty side of things is out of my hands. If someone were to forward photo's or a link to this thread to Picco or Ofna that would be cool but I'm washing my hands of it now...

    HAS ANYONE HAD THIS HAPPEN? - Picco 28 P3 failure

    Well some bad news, just spoken to the guy who owns the engine. He got a call from the LHS today, the UK distributer has looked at his engine and concluded that the tip of the shaft was damaged by a flywheel puller and will not warranty the engine. I'm disappointed for him but not suprised...

    picco loves the cold

    yesterday you were likely running a little on the rich side, today the added oxygen in the colder air is giving a better balanced more powerful burn... ...careful it dosn't run lean though as thats normally what happens when you keep what was the correct tune from a warmer day, on a colder one.

    HAS ANYONE HAD THIS HAPPEN? - Picco 28 P3 failure

    lol you need to find yourself a bigger carpark for that thing Pure, whoever thought up 1/8 touring cars was a genius. Looks like you were having fun shredding the tyres on it though. I got my DM1 prospec a month back and am half way through running it in, well atleast I hope I'm half way by...

    HAS ANYONE HAD THIS HAPPEN? - Picco 28 P3 failure

    That said It still should not be enough to kill a crank shaft like that, not when the cheap stock mill and every other engine out there including the Picco has been fitted with 2 speed bells without issue. Had a mate who's big into metal work take a look at it, he thinks its very possible the...

    HAS ANYONE HAD THIS HAPPEN? - Picco 28 P3 failure

    Ya the car was an Inferno GT2, which uses a 2 speed bell and a shaft extension. Since its longer it may have caused some levering force that the shaft just couldn't take, more force then a regular CB would cause anyway.

    Thanks for the Pure, the special clutch nut looks just the ticket, I've spoken to the fella and he's over the moon that if the LHS won't help there's cheap easy fix waiting. Again thank you!

    HAS ANYONE HAD THIS HAPPEN? - Picco 28 P3 failure

    Engine was in a road car, no 'rocks' anywhere near it and running around on rich factory settings at 30% throttle MAX (and less most of the time). Clutch bell and spurgears are still in fine - perfect condition so no stones or rocks present, if the mesh was off the plastic gears would be toast...

    HAS ANYONE HAD THIS HAPPEN? - Picco 28 P3 failure

    This is a first for me, helped a local install a brand new Picco in his 1/8 touring car - not a heavy vehicle at 7.5lbs and after 4 tanks still running at factory settings, transmitter limited to 30% throttle (and broken in using the heat cycle method) this: The shaft was not scored...

    GPM ultimate alloy conversion deal??

    Exaclty - for the most part if you pack your diffs with grease like the HD grease HPI supply it won'y come leaking out all over the place like silicone oil. Silicone oil is a tuning option, its not intended to last beyond 1 race weekend as different oils wt's should be used at each track -...

    GPM ultimate alloy conversion deal??

    He said that he didn't have to do maintenance, not that you don't have to do maintenance. I packed my diffs with quality grease and find that I have little no maintence to do on them, thats my experience, its not for you or anyone to disagree with that as it would simply be my experience but...
