I think some of my single engined trucks are heavier than this one yes it's huge but not heavy I like to keep the weight down if I can I'll do a weigh in when I'm close to being done with it

Hi. Are you the guy I talked to on Facebook about keeping the higher reving Picco engines? I think the Picco engines are awesome. Been looking on ebay for new ones. Your truck looks amazing.

some

It'll be quite awhile before that happens still have to send the engines. In for some EBIS break-in and then run in I've narrowed it down between two solid engine modders I know well brand new Picco boost 5 port .28"s don't come along often or at all anymore so I want them close to perfect as I can get them and still have to email Robin fothergill about some ercm pipes and I heard he himself wasnt doing to good from a car accident but I'm planning to be done up and running by next spring/summer is my goal i live in NW Washington state and nitros don't run good in the colder weather so we just put them away til next season anyways

It is more likely that we won't see any .28 Piccos anytime soon. I sold about 100 of those Picco P3 28 engines (pull start as well as truggy versions) around 2017 on ebay. I was in touch with Alberto Picco to obtain more of them. In 2018, he I formed me that he had checked the dies they had used for die-casting the 28 crankcase and seen catastrophic cracks in them. To make things worse, the man who had designed and made the dies had also retired a few years earlier and apparently there was no one else who could redo his work.
