Picco introduce the Torque .12 EMX-WC Edo modified X-type World Championship replica Touring racing engine that has been developed with the upcoming 1/10th Nitro World Championships in mind. The engine is completely redesigned and comes with a new long stroke layout to deliver great power over the entire RPM range, good fuel efficiency, and improved mid-range acceleration. The front ball bearing has been replaced with a 7mm inner diameter one and the components have been “hand modified” by Edoardo Picco using his extensive experience. The engine features a balanced 12mm “turbo” silicone-filled crankshaft for improved fuel flow and reduced weight, a super aligned “knife edged” aerodynamic connecting rod, a hand finished hard chromed brass liner with tear-trop work on the ports, and a lightened CNC machined piston made from high percentage silicone alloy billet. Other parts used include a large size finned turbo combustion chamber insert for better heat dissipation, new ultra light weight cooling head with an extra fin, hand modified rear back plate for improved fuel flow, Swiss quality 12mm main bearing and a composite slide carburettor with 5.4mm venturi inserts.
