should i get a mach 26 or a picco 26 my freinds got the picco and pullstarts a pain on it anybody know about the mach
 
I've never tried the mach, but I have seen the picco in action and it's a power house! In fact I'm looking into getting a picco 26 with the adapter for the roto start so I don't have to worry about pull starts no more.

Hey Woodie.. do you think the rotostart is pretty durable? I am getting the picco as well and din't mind the pull start but if it is really going to be a biotch then I may consider the rotostart.
 
Hey guys I can comment on the roto start and the picco as I am using it. I haven't even gotten the proper adapter for it honestly. I just threw the spring in the backplate and put it on and haven't looked back since. As for the Picco pull starter yes it is a pain in the ass. However if you invest in a pull start from megatech that will handle the megatech 16 than you will be set. I haven't even gotten the adapter from ofna that they say you need. It works great.
 
Honestly I don't know - However I've read a lot of good things about the roto start even with the picco. My main reason for wanting a setup like that is because I'm tried of replacing the pull starts.

Sorry man but I am still not gettin it. what is the adapter in the pic?....I am with stupid.Lol
 
LOL the adapter is the piece riding inside the actual back plate. The purple anadized piece. Where the normal one way bearing of a Nitro star engine would ride.
 
I see said the blind man as he spit into the wind and says it all comes to me now! THanks Newnitrofan. What is the advantage of getting that?
 
See the picco has an internal one way bearing. Not your run of the mill one way. it has that bolt looking thing going into the engine to be inside the one way. That spring gets pushed against the back plate of the roto start back plate or pullstart assembly. The adapter simply ensures that it will stay in place and not wind up all over the place letting that bolt walk it's way out of place. I think that makes sense.
