Picco Torque .21 & .12 competition engines

Developed by Picco for the 1/8th on road and 1/10 touring class the Torque .21 & .12 are high performance racing engines. Designed by Edoardo Picco, all components are made with the finest materials. Durability and reliability are also of the highest level thanks to our many years of experience in 2 stroke engines, know-how of raw-materials and our precise machining process. The Torque delivers great power over the entire rpm range with the best ever fuel efficiency, with the .21 given particular attention to improving mid range acceleration due to the increased traction from the latest generation of 1/8th on-road chassis’. Both engines are also available in an EDO Modified version which are hand modified by Edoardo Picco himself taking performance to the max.

JQ Products optional centre shafts

One of the unusual features of THE Car by JQ Products is its centre differential, which has 8mm of front/rear adjustment in the chassis which can have a significant effect on handling. The standard kit comes with central to weight forward transmission components, ideal for tight, technical stop/start type tracks. If the full extent of its weight-back set up is required, usually for fast open tracks, then the optional weight back centre shafts must be used. The set includes the 90mm and 104mm option weight back dogbone centre shafts.
