Default Picco P2 .26 Engine For Traxxas T-MAXX?

If i bought this engine for my T-maxx would i have to make any changes to my truck? Or is this just like the 26 Max?

never run a picco .26 myself,but i can tell you what the picco .21 did to my truck, 6 rear diffs ( gone spool now),4 forward only shafts,it kept snapping them at the rear shaft mount,3 steel rear centre shafts snapped,the list keeps going, i now went back to the stock rear shaft to make it the weak and cheap breaking point,i go through about 2 shafts each session..so good luck with the .26

yes good engine dont run it with stock pipe and keep slipper clutch looser than you would with the stock engine and here are some pipes that would work


there big block pipes so you would need to order a small block gasket to fit in the big block gasket

You don't have to run a big block pipe. The THS exhaust will work good and I would have recomended it to you if didn't mention you already have one. It is a mid-block and it uses a smallblock exhaust port.

never run a picco .26 myself,but i can tell you what the picco .21 did to my truck, 6 rear diffs ( gone spool now),4 forward only shafts,it kept snapping them at the rear shaft mount,3 steel rear centre shafts snapped,the list keeps going, i now went back to the stock rear shaft to make it the weak and cheap breaking point,i go through about 2 shafts each session..so good luck with the .26
This guy must be doing something wrong because I have seen the .26 run completly stock on a t-maxx with no problems. You just have to keep your slipper clutch a little loose.
