New Picco Oval venturi
Italian engine manufacturer Picco have released a new oval shaped venturi for use with .21 sized engines. First seen as part of their recent P3TT Limited edition buggy engine release, the venturi is now available for use in all engines. The ‘Oval’ venturi offers a progressive opening: the surface of a horizontal ellipse evolving more gently than the round opening of a regular restrictor. The result is that on a low traction track the engine has smoother acceleration for improved drivability and fuel consumption.
