Following his departure from engine and accessories sponsors Modelix, former 1/8th Nitro Buggy World Champion, Robert Batlle has teamed up with Italian company Picco. The record Spanish national champion will power his Mugen buggies using Picco’s competition nitro engines and he has the following to say about the deal:

PIC9270

The Picco R1 Team DLC CER engine is the new high-end, competition on road engine of our line. Featuring a redesigned, stiffer crankcase that ensures more stable performances throughout a wider temperature range and prevents any loss of RPMs tue to unwanted torsions, the new engine also sports a double bottom-end adjustment carburettor for finer tuning and a better passage. The crankshaft features an all new, precious DLC coating that prevents any oxidation and any wear of the crankpin. Fitted with a ceramic ball bearing, the crankcase also sports smaller upper fins to allow the laser engraved, aluminium cooling head to sit lower on the engine for a lower overall CG. At the heart of the engine we find a 7 port sleeve paired with a piston machined from high silicon material.
