os .21tm has less power and torque then the picco .21

The picco .21 won't have a problem starting if'n you preheat the engine block before you start yanking on the pull-cord. You'll have to preheat that engine for the first couple of gallons before the piston/sleeve start to break-in.

if you want cheap then you can go with the Dynamite .19 think around $100.00 shipped on ebay. I would go with the Picco.21 maxx. I have two of them and my buddy has one on his Revo none have an issue starting.

I use a hair dryer or if you are careful use a blow torch

Like Hulk, I have 2 of these Picco's as well, one in a Revo and one in a Slayer Pro and as stated, you need to pre heat the motor prior to starting. I have a heat gun from the hardware store and a temp gun from amazon that I use to heat the block to around 180 degrees before firing it off. These motors are sooooo worth the money and I highly recommend them. It will take roughly a gal of fuel through them before they really loosen up. I have about 6 tanks of fuel through one of them and it is broken it but has not loosened up yet.

And for those new tight pinch engines when your away from a 120V outlet at your bashin spot, you can get a 12V engine warmer.

Or just get an inverter for the heat gun, but most are about the same price, around the $50 mark.
