this is it running before problem began

Sorry it took me so long to watch this. I pretty much worked every damn day in December and was dead the rest of the time. Work computers block youtube..... She's running pretty good, the 086 pipe will bring more out of it. Running in grass though, it will cause the temps to run warmer. No big deal, Picco's can handle it. 250-260F is not a problem if the engine sounds and runs right.
I'd like to hear it fully warmed up at idle for about 8-10 seconds then punch it WOT, the bottom end is lacking a bit I think. That would tell me a lot if I could see it.
What's the problem you have know?

New bearings, non Duratrax are in order too bud. Get some Advantage racing bearings from www.carolinasrc.com. 2 days to your door, pretty much every time. He's never let me down. I know all to well how poor Duratrax bearings can be. Some Ofna diff shims too. He has an online chat setup, very customer friendly.

The surface your running on there is very restrictive, by the way the grass is standing up after your chassis comes off of it would mean you have a massive drag issue, is it the same on a hard surface? Scrogg is right though, A good set of bearings is worth it.

yeah i bought some shims with my order i just got some cash selling stuff on ebay so ill be in good shape

A fine example of bigger is not better! This engine will woop most .28's ass all day long. From take-off to top speed. Very nice internals as well. True Picco quality at an unbeatable price.

Guys ask what engine would be my choice "other then a modded Picco". I simply reply, when you can show me an engine with better run times, more torque, can run 1-2 teeth up (bell) from competition, pulls better down the straight etc...... I will consider it. Until then you can't beat it for the price. Even stock they haul ass.

This is another mill you need to get your hands on Robin. Excellent short -to medium track engine, as well as a great bash engine. The Savage loved it. It ran with the 18TZ powered Revo Platinums no problem. Wooped the Nova .21 3 port stock for stock. Everyone who drove it, loved the mill.

That's the three port? I have been looking at it for a while wondering lol. Sounds good, I may pick one up to play with.

Yep that's the 3 port BAS .21. Nitrohouse has them. Picco also sells it as a .21 3R with a non p/s backplate.....same bore and stroke for 200 bucks. Just a fancier head and the backplate, only differences. Way overpriced but better than any other 3 port .21 I have seen.
Roughly 8 minutes runtime on 150cc's. The main intake is massive! Bigger than most exhaust ports. Nice thick sleeve, breaks in fully around 3/4's a gallon. Very user friendly mill. I think it would respond nicely to some modification. It has the fat crankcase as well, you are used to that though.
