new engine

[savagebob]

i was wonderin if the picco .26 is better than the wasp .26 or visa-versa or are the two engines the same?

Aren't they one and the same? Or am I mistaken?

The wasp is a clone of the picco. Or is it the other way around.

Same engine as far as I know, I would definitely recommend doing it also. I have been nothing but happy with mine.

Same engine, Very fast. Wheelies on command. Definitely Reccommended, although I've heard the tuning on the picco is a bit harder than usual.

Dude my engine so far holds a tune quite well. Maybe I just got lucky and got a good one. There is definitely a night and day difference between this engine and I'm sure even the S-25. I'm stoked with it.

Depends on how hard your suspension is.

 

[SilentHunterKellen]

Nope, This guy runs a Orion Wasp .26 and upgraded driveshafts ONLY, and it can wheelie pretty much everytime except for when he hits really soft dirt.

And your spur gear/clutch bell ratio.

Don't know if this helps but I am running a 14T Bell with a 52T spur and mine wheelies like nobody's business and I can't stand it. What kind of control does it really offer?? None really. I am going to try to change my gearing this weekend. Later

That's a pretty high gearing ratio, it will wheelie like crazy alright especially if you have a powerful engine. Make your ratio closer to 3.00, then you'll enjoy your runs better.

I would just get the wasp. It is cheaper and i heard it tunes easier thatn the picco.
