Picco .21 Buggy Evo4 engine

Italian engine company Picco Micromotori have released their latest 3.5cc buggy engine with the introduction of the .21 Buggy Evo4. The motor features a completely redesigned combustion chamber, which is now larger, and a new cooling head, which together help better dissipate heat from the engine. The carburetor has also received some attention and has been improved by using two o-rings on the max needle to prevent any air entering the carb, while the low needle shape has been given a new shape for smoother power delivery and better fuel consumption.
