Picco V1 & R1 3.5cc competition nitro engines

Picco have introduced their new high-end competition nitro engines in the form of the V1 Team DLC CER off-road and R1 Team DLC CER on-road engine. Starting with the off-road power plant, the V1 is the brand’s new top-of-the-foodchain engine and already achieved the Italian National Championship title in prototype stages in the hands of Marco Baruffolo. The engine features a new crankcase that is designed to be stiffer so that the absence of torsion allows for a more stable performance at any temperature while preventing RPM loss. On top of a 5-port sleeve, the V1 also features a longer stroke and a new crankshaft that received a DLC-coating treatment to ensure a very low crankpin wear while protecting the shaft from oxidations of any kind for a long life of the part. The carburettor now sports a double bottom-end adjustment for finer tuning and a better mixture flow, and the engine’s main bearing is of a high-quality ceramic type.
