the picco .26 is a good motor but not as powerful as a true bb with a side pipe....the picco .28 is a power motor from what i hear, but some will say it a little short on the top end, but most engine modders can fix that....i choose a race tuned .28..it has massive low end and seemingly endless top end. the picco on the other hand was made as a stomp puller...but when fabrimactor say it wont make his tmaxx wheelie im shocked. my ninja would make that things do backflips...but just check out youtube and you will see it quite a powerfull motor that cant be beat for the money...it you got extra cash i would suggest the OS .28XZ...i plan on buying one just to campair it to my NINJA .28...the os should have more low end then the ninja....will see...
Dude.................. Don't mistake it not wheelying for lack of power......... I'm saying it spins the wheels instead of pulling wheelies on asphalt.
[8D] PLENTY of low end.[X(]
I can stand 20ft behind it on asphalt and get blasted by dust and pebbles from it burning out. When it does catch (usually right before second gear) it's on it's lid faster then the blink of an eye. That has more to do with my tire choice (proline mashers) then power. I can't say it's short on top end either.... it's just plain impressive anywhere in the rpm band.
The picco is a monster..... so is the ninja. I like the picco because it's cheap. You'll have to seal it but IMHO there's nothing better in a pullstart stock. Check out the savage forum to see what people think of the picco .28 p3. You'll be hard pressed to find a angry owner. Stock for stock the picco is just about the baddest out there. The O.S. xz .28 is king but it's only bumpstart and it's BARELY more powerful then the picco. Matter of fact the picco has a little more bottom end and the O.S. has a little more top end. They are VERY close on a dyno. The ninja is probably damn close if not equal but I think it's more pricey.
You can't go wrong with either but I have a bias towards the picco.
yeah, like i said the picco is hard to beat for the money. especillay if you can only use a pullstart or roto start. but for us revo guys, we have a lot more options. i only suggest re 28xz because it has it power shifted further in the rpm band (witch i prefer) and the quility of the parts is top notch.....i would suggest a GRP .28 (best .28) but they are no loger made due to the factory buring down[sm=cry_smile.gif]
picco 28 is the way to go if you looking for mad power with out costing you and arm and a leg
I don't think it's any easier for revo guys to go bumpstart then is for tmaxx guys.... both require new chassis to make bump start motors possible
AFAIK.
