Learning how to disassemble your nitro engine comes in clutch because you can preform maintenance and helps you get familiar with the parts of your nitro engine, I disassemble a new engine and after a gallon of fuel has been ran through it

Looks like an upgraded REDS 521 sport with the balanced crank. Cool engine

[@weekendrc]

Yeah is a great engine

[@tertianend]

Basically what it is

[@joeleonard643]

That Picco engine looks awesome and they’re very reasonable on price, nice strip down vid for the newbie’s, I’ll definitely be picking one of these up once my novarossi stock runs out 👍🏽

[@weekendrc]

Thanks appreciate it

[@joeleonard643]

@@weekendrc quick update, just bought one 😎

[@weekendrc]

@@joeleonard643 nice man, they use the OS p3 glow plugs so when ever your wondering when you need to replace it

[@paulmcdowall9693]

Anybody recommend an idle gap for one of these plus the default (factory) needle settings. TIA.

[@weekendrc]

On factory settings on this engine a .5mm to 1.0mm idle gap and I had to open the low speed needle so it couldn’t stop revving so much, it comes super lean from factory

[@raimom3179]

I didnt have thread lock on the back plate from the factory. I didnt put any when i re installed the plate. I think it will melt and wont do any locking when the engine is warm.

[@weekendrc]

When it dries them gets hot it becomes like goo the doesn’t let the screws back out

[@raimom3179]

@@weekendrc so why the new engines dont have any thread lock??

[@weekendrc]

@@raimom3179 that I do not know, you don’t have to put any on I do it because I have had some come loose on me

[@cammac1393]

How is that picco engine doing? Would you recommend it? Thanks

[@weekendrc]

It’s good it’s more of a buggy engine definitely recommend it

[@cammac1393]

OK right on. So when you say buggy engine does that mean it has more topend less bottom?

[@weekendrc]

@@cammac1393 yes sir
