Status: offline 		How many of y'all have gone over to the "Dark Side, " with that Black and Blue, Ofna Picco 26 Max ????????????????????????????????????????????
I'll start.....I'm there, and I'm already saving for another.....

Tricks I've found that work great, and keep the grin factor at Max level in a REVO....

16/38 gearing
M/S filter on OEM REVO snorkle
Shorten theexhaust header5'16", or the length of the "bell"
Open the muffler outlet to 7/32"
Seal the carb to the crankase with "copper" RTV

HEAT CYCLE your first fuel tank....shut off every time the engine reaches 240-250F, Do NOT idle the 1st tank, run at 1/4 to 1/2 throttle, watch temps, and heat cycle! Do the second tank the same way.....then 3rd-5th normal break-in. These engines are tight and will generate heat, even rich....watch those temps on the first 2 tanks.

During heat cycle, rotate the piston to bdc during cool down, do not restart until temp is beow 110F.


This is what I've found works good....it is NOT gospel, and as another bit of info, I'm at about 250' asl. If you've got a different combo, other observations or ideas on break-in, POST em! But let's keep this thread about the Dark Side, let's complile some working data on the Picco 26 Max HERE.

Status: offline 		Are you happy with this engine?
I know it's got a lot of power but how's the life of the engine?
Is it quality?
I've heard the stock Revo pipe seems to work great in the Picco 26. True?
Is it a gas hog?
How does its performance compare to other engines similar in size?

It's gonna be a week before I can run it, and it's drivin me nuts! I can't wait to see what it'll do. Where did you find that break-in procedure? Did you follow it too? Great results? If so I'll follow it to a TEE. Next week will be too much fun. I get my LST2 back from Losi (transmision problems right outta the box) and I pick up my Picco 26. Hey how would the Picco 26 do in a LST2? LOL :-)

Status: offline 		i have and all i can say is loving it.

used traxxas break-in as find this is best
15/36 gearing
M/S filter on OEM REVO snorkle with epoxy round base
qoncepts header but going bk to stock cant find a coupler that wont stop burning up
bored out muffler to a 1mm wall thickness
sealed whole engine with loctite engine sealant "carb,backplate and even a little on the copper shims on the head" sealed up great

break in was a doddle only had one major temp at start but noticed my fuel tank o-ring went so changed it over and was great

only problem i am having is im burning up exhaust couplers with the qoncepts flex header and so im going bk to stock

old pictures i now have the carbon battery holder and all my electrics are now ballooned up

an owb, is a "one way bearing."
OEM is "original equipment manufacture(r)" or "stock part."

So what it said/meant was....the stock REVO one way bearing will work with a Picco 26 Max.
