RE: picco vs. sirio?
i can, if i want, to flip my revo on its lid...i have a Sirio. 23 RE engine...but i would imagine the picco can push out more power....for me, im totally satisfied with my engine..great speed and low end (without a good 1/8 pipe, the sirio really gets suffocated on low end...cant wheelie for beans)...go for the sirio. you can get it at Amainhobbies...however, i do think the manufacturer has the engine discontinued and parts are scarce.

The sirio 23 is the same as the RB 323 or the RB 523 (not sure which one)

RE: picco vs. sirio?
The Picco has been a really great engine for me, not sure about the power difference betwen the Sirio's and The Picco though. If you are wanting wheelies I wouldn't think you should have any problems with any of the three. If you go with the Picco you should consider looking into a side pipe.

RE: picco vs. sirio?
trust me when i say this, go for the picco! it is a way better motor for the price. you will have money left over. they are cheap and ez to tune. my sirio was not that great. dont get me wong they are nice motors but i think you get more bang fo you buck with a picco. i have a 26maxx with 3 gallons on it and it runs like a champ still. loads of bottom end and holds its own on the top end as well. i would however recomend getting a different motor mount. the one that comes with the motor sucks. but it works ok. dont let every one tell you to go for the rb's or the sirio. they are all great motors but like i said you get more bang for you buck. the sirio is hard to get parts for and they dont have any kind of customer support as well. take it from me go for the picco. i think you will be happy with the outcome.

Wayfast your post really doesn't make much since, you posted in another thread about the Picco being finicky.

what are you running them in. i like the axail. it is a great motor. but the picco is nice as well. i have both. but i would have to say that i like the axail the best. it has a very smooth feel and it has mad top end. the picco is i little finicky for me. i like to think of the axail as a set it and forget it kinda motor. i tuned it one time and then never touched it after that. i have them in revos right now. the only thing that i didnt like about the axail was that it was fuel hungry. the picco has also been known to have a lot of problems too. but they have great customer service.

Correct if I wrong guys but you gotta get a mid block mount
ORIGINAL: niteblaster
So the sirio .23 would fit a stock 2.5 chassis?

like what hillfinger said, these engines need a good side pipe to let out the real power...
btw, too bad the sirio is 200$ now...i saw amain had a sale and the sirio was 170...hahaha thats when i bought it! [>:]

RE: picco vs. sirio?
amain coupon code DPPMAR812 save $12.50................Buy the Sirio or the RB and be done with it. My Sirio has about 4 gallons through it and runs like a champ. Or you could buy the RB and get a tuned pipe. Just my 2 cents though.

I love it !!!!!!
It was a bit of a pain to tune with a rear pipe so I switched to a side pipe and it is allot easier ( really easy )
It was a bit of a pain to keep tuned with a rear pipe so I switched to a side pipe and it is stays tuned very well. I have to adjust the needles very little unless there is a big change in weather.
Yea I need to doing some work on the REvo right now soon as I am done I will try to wipe some type of video together.
P.S. If you are considering a Picco .26 Max or any other mid or big block, keep in mind a side pipe will work wonders.

I will keep that in mind, but actually I have a T-Maxx, I would have to find some tuned pipe or something.

I am sure a 1/8 scale pipe can be fitted to the T-Maxx, I am not sure though since I have never owned one.

I think you are right, I am not sure if there are any that are designed to go to the left.
