Just ordered the picco red dot on towerhobbies.com, what are the best way to seal up the engine?

Congrats on getting the Picco!!!
A light layer of some kind of silicone where the backplate is should help to seal it up. You MIGHT wanna take the carb off and put a light layer under the carb body also. Good luck with it man. You are going to have a MONSTER on your hands once you get it broken in!!
Did you find enough information on how to break it in the best way possible?? Just curious, because break-in is vitally important to ensure longer engine life! [8D]

RE: Want bigger engine for 3.3 revo.
Hey this is just a little off toppic but im finding it hard to find a good revo thread on anything revo related. But here is my question. I just bought a revo 3.3 and I dont really like the performance of the trx engine im always having to fiddle with the tuning but I have an os 18 tz sitting around and I want to put that engine in my revo. I know its got more power then the 3.3 but the problem is its not a slide carb. Is there any way to put a rotary carb engine into a revo? Or should I just get a picco? lol
If you guys know of a revo 3.3 thread let me know k.

RE: Want bigger engine for 3.3 revo.
figured you would say that lol. I can get one for 100 from my friend he cant get it to stay running (breaking it in) and wont take my advice on sealing it up and warming the engine up before he starts it. Its cold here right now. Have any of you guys put the spectrum dx 3.0 in a revo? Is it hard to do?

You Could actually Use the rotary carb, you just need a new throttle linkage and some other things, But that 100 deal is great, should snatch it up. (BTW is that engine (.18TZ) Broken In or used yet ??)

RE: Want bigger engine for 3.3 revo.
Hey another question this is the only thread that im getting any responce about the revo on. I just put my spectrum radio in the revo and for some reason all im getting is the throttle but the problem is the throttle only controles the steering. no other servos work........ everything is hooked up right and when I put the reciever back in the mt2 is works just fine. Just to see if it was something to do with my revo I put the reciever in my friends revo and it does the same thing.........Any ideas?

Ill get that tmaxx linkage tomorrow.

The best way I can think of is to put it back in the box, use packing tape on all corners to make sure there are no air leaks, take to the nearest Parcel Plus store and reurn to TH and order a RB 523
Sorry man.....just had to.
