Heyy guys. I just bought a tmaxx from a guy and i was waondering if the engine in it was good? It has an ofna picco .21 max in it, can anyone tell me if its a powerful engine and if it can make the tmaxx pull wheelies or about the top end speed. Thanks, gregg

RE: Tmaxx Engine

I can't speak from experience but I'm a 4910 Tmaxx owner and the stock 2.5R will pull wheelies and I've read from other owners that the Picco is an incredible upgrade! You should be definately good to go with that engine.:D

Yes, it will. The big block displaceemnt will produce much more toque than teh TRX small blocks, so you should hegar up to tame the wheelies and make it mroe drievable. Also, I suggest you make sure the divetrain already bahs hadend parts in it to take teh higher torque loads. If not, go ahead and upgrade them.
