how old is this engine

[Ballen]

it says OFNA by picco 0-1 on the head
trying to find out if it is worth ,me tearing down and checking it out and buying a bump box for just one older engine

IMO... it's not worth it to buy a bump box for just one engine I have 3 Nitro Rig's & I dont have a bump box for either one "" I think there more of a hassel than what there worth "' I would also say buy a more current powerplant with a pull start or TRAXXAS & HPI have good engines out there versions with out pullstarts Traxxas has the EZ-Start & HPI has the Roto-Start both are very good systems...

Looks pretty beat up on head. I agree with ^^^ not worth buying a bump box just for one engine you dont know much about. Even though i plan on using a bump engine on the buggy and truggy i build for racing i wouldnt want one for a bashing rig at all.

The OFNA Picco buggy (a variant of the 9.5MBX line) is a pretty old discontinued kit. It is a good bashing kit but its to old and to heavy for racing. I still have one that have been heavily modded. I would not invest money into the motor.....I might put a pullstart or roto start on it to see if it works but I wouldnt invest any more money than that and i would only do that if everything inside the engine looked good.
