RIP Mike, last of the bigname ex-slotcar motor tuners.

Mike asked that there be no funeral services for his passing,

but rather an R/C party celebration of his life.

Details will be announced at a later date.

LEGENDARY that clause is sooo going in my will.

Not a good week for RC pioneers, Picco passed away on Sunday..

..the passing of one of the RC Industry’s pioneers, Mr. Gualtiero Picco. The man behind Picco Micromotori, the company he started in the early 80’s, passed away yesterday following a long illness, he was 71. Best known for the engines that carried his name, it was Gualtiero’s passion and constant drive to develop that has, in no small part, shaped the design and configuration of modern day RC engines. A long time Tether car enthusiast, he holds the current World record which he set in 2009 in the WMCR V class, getting his ‘car’ up to a speed of 344 kmh. He is survived by his wife Marisa and two sons Alberto and Edoardo, who carry on the running of the Picco company.
