Here is my Picco Genesis (Paris Racing Options) under restoration. It has a Paris Racing Carbon Chasiss and Radio Tray, Ergal rear hubs, rear bulkhead, front Ergal steering arms and more... I'll post updates of the restoration progress.





OCA1

Yup, It's almost like a new kit Paris option of Genesis is very rare.
I am looking forward to seeing the process of the restoration

Cheers!

Thanks Simon, it will be a fun project for me. I have a soft spot for Picco cars, especially the Genesis I'll keep you posted.

Here is a comparison of the Paris Racing Ergal Bulkhead compared to the original Picco Genesis Bulkhead


Paris Picco P5 engine


Paris Racing Rear Ergal Hub - Picco Genesis


Picco Genesis Bumper


OCA1

This Ergal steering arm is made by Paris Racing to replace the stock Picco Genesis steel steering arm that is weak and often breaks off A very popular and important option part back in the day.

OCA1, That's a complete car by Ron Paris Each parts are respectable to Ron

ASSOCISTA

ASSOCISTA, Yeah the late Ron Paris made a lot of cool parts for Associated and Picco cars. He was actually the importer and distributor of Picco cars and engines for the US

OCA1

Finally, it's almost ready, only need tires and a Lola body....Enjoy!

Hello OCA1, It's really nice looking
Great Racing Spirit from Mr. Ron Paris. It's must be a next treasure item in near future
( ( (GREAT RESTORATION) ) )

ASSOCISTA

Hello Assocista, Thank you so much for your nice comment my friend I'll be posting more pictures when the car is done...
The Picco Genesis and parts are already difficult to find right now, it will definitely be a treasure in the near future. Right now I'm restoring an original spec Picco Genesis so that it can be compared to the Paris spec.

Cheers

Very nice car. Is the radio plate an option?

See your PM, I sent a message

Hello Mani, Thank you for your comment. The radio plate is an Paris option part as well and it's made out of special carbon (CRF).

I have replied to your PM

Thanks, OCA1

Oooh super restauration !!
We love seeing such car's , and of course Paris parts make this Picco very spécial !!

Thank you MK4. I'm glad that you like the car. Paris Racing being the long time Picco importer and distributor for the US market, produced many cool hop up parts for their Picco cars

Cheers

OCA1, I love such rip spoiler on the bumper Good design

ASSOCISTA

ASSOCISTA, The bumper extensions on both sides of the bumper is to give some extra protection for when the car is hitting the side rails on the track and to try minimize damage. It's common to use wood or steel plate as side rails on US tracks not very forgiving for the cars.

OCA1

Oh~,I see It becomes a functional beauty right now

ASSOCISTA

Superb work great car for mecanics lover's

Hello Oca1.

Your restored Picco is very, very beautyful!
All theses optionnal parts make it superb. I love originals ones but yours is a really great one, Sure you're having fun to work on it!

Vincent.

I thank you all for the nice compliments and comments I have a soft spot for Picco cars, so this has been a very fun restoration project for me. Like Vincent, I also love originals, so my next resto project will be an original Picco Genesis

OCA1

The Lola Body Looks like Elfin Sport Body?

Enneti Tires for Picco Cars

Hello OCA1
You are a real nice collector of Picco Ron Paris ! King of that

ASSOCISTA

Hi ASSOCISTA,
Yeah, I like Paris parts for Picco, but not quite the King...
After his success in making hop up parts for the Asso RC500, Ron continued on making option parts for the first Picco (Genesis) in the early 90's as he was the importer and distributor for Picco cars and engines.

OCA1

OCA1,I like Ron's technical working so much.
many people were inspired from his great racing spirit.
He was one of the best tuner in the RC industry.
