well got to take out my revo with the imex header and tuned pipe,wow,it performs pretty well,temps at250,wheel stands any time you want.still got alittle treaking to do on the lsn,pipe ends even with the body of the truck,no problem getting in the way of the suspension,its a single tip so theres plenty of back pressure,the header itself is abigger i/d than stock,and the pipe has a nice tone to it.overall i am pleased with this set up.its FAST

I ordered some shims from nitrohouse for this motor because i want to run 30% nitro but the shims wont fit around the head button like the ones do that came on the motor . They were part numbers 51342 and 51343. The inside diameter of the shim is to small and wont go around the head button . Is it maybe a mis package ?? I emailed them and waiting for them to get back to me. Let me know if you ran into this . Thanks .

what pipe is it you are running

megamaxx

its from imex part#7305,its the pipe and header.cost me 54.00 at hobby town,the only thing i had to do was make a pipe hanger couldnt use the stock one.

megamaxx

put the revo thru its paces today,jumped it,flipped,cartwheeled it,whooped it.2 things i have to change,do the foc,and widen the stance of the truck so it corners a little better.other than that the stock revo held up to the .26 way better than my maxx did.and the good news is that the track i used to go to started back up the unlimited m/t class and a all revo class.cant wait to see how the .26maxx compares to the others.

Hi guys, finally joining the darkside. Buying a brand new one for $145 with rotostart. I hear the THS pipe is most popular for this engine so which model do I buy? Sorry if this has been mentioned but I'm running on dial up which is plain slow[&o] Thanks.

megamaxx

yes the ths is very popular,some are running it with an o.s.header,some run the MGT short pipe/ stock header(slight mod.to run this set up)some run the trinity set up with success,i run an IMEX tuned pipe and header on mine.your gonna have alot of options/opinions on this subject,you will have to experiment a little to find one the performs the way you want it to

rawiswar

ok the mgt pipe still not here going to cancel my order and get a savage ribbed pipe and rcnitrohead if you can dont run break in with the stock pipe its not good at all for the picco



welcome to the darkside young nitro warrior lol


little update the mgt pipe is not in stock at the suppliers ordered the savage ribbed pipe for £30

megamaxx

no,its really not ,does not let the engine breath enough,to restrictive of an exhaust,also can cause other prblems from the excessive back pressure.tank o-rings,carb.0-rings,trust me learned that the hard way

rcnitrohead

Guess what!? When I finally refreshed the auction page with this SLOW *$$ dial up which took 5 minutes someone bought the damn thing. [sm=48_48.gif] Guess Ill have to wait around for another deal[&o]

megamaxx

dial up sucks

RCCanuck

when you do get one...something you will not have is fuel milege....this thing is a thirsty hogg...b4 I went DSM I had to share a channel with a guy running a stock Revo 3.3 and he would literally have double the driver stand time as me...doing the 1 tank each thing.

megamaxx

definitely,they are thirsty hawgs,but they are some of the funnest nitro vehicles you will ever get your hands on.

flow41

hey guys i got a question im not sure what picco to get if i should get the .28 or .26 for my revo both engines cost the same but im sure that the 28 got more power than the 26 but im not quite sure what to get can any1 tell me

RCCanuck

the dark side is all about the Picco .26 Max...blue crankcase blue flamed cooling head.

rawiswar

the .26 would be enough in your revo but hey if its the same price its up to you

rawiswar

ok what headers are you guys running i bust my header up trying to fit the hpi ribbed pipe thinking of just buying another stock header and cutting it to fit like the example in the photo




any thoughts from you guys want to be bashing this weekend lol

megamaxx

well used to have steel sliding cvd's in my maxx,installed the biggest motor saver air filter i could get on there,was able to richen hsn between 1/8-1/4 turn.so lets do the math,more air+more fuel=more busted parts

Toddie23

Sounds cool

kuiwoods

this was prolly menetioned already but i cannot get my engine to start... ive taken it apart who knows how many times to see. ive changed the glow plugs . i use a roto start n its all charged.. ive started at factory settings .even with hsn and 7 turns out lsn. correct me if im wrong please lol. but i go to start n it wont ill give it a little throttle n itll run but then die if i let off. so i adjust the idle and it will run but then all of a sudden rev really high n when i turn down the idle it dies.... i use odonnels fuel check for leaks n everything but just cannot get it to start!!! ahhh someone please help i had to change the front bearing before cuz it was leaking n now im just thinking of returning the engine to see if theyll replace it cuz its frustrating!!!!

x5t1j

OK I'll try to help you. You said you took it apart right. This may sound dumb but maybe you put the piston in backwards. There is a notch in the piston than is supposed to face the front of the engine. It is there to clear the crank. It is easy to put in wrong if you don't pay attention. It will run just like you said. Hard to start and can get to run if you stay on the throttle but dies as soon as you let off.

megamaxx

here it goes ,recently put this beast in my stock revo,was fairly impressed to say the least,but started having tranny probs,and i handling went down hill with the added speed,so i installed a FOC,solved the tranny prob,for handling i tried a set of hpi hellfire 1/2 inch offset rims with zombie maxx tires,widened the stanch by a full inch,now this revo is AWESOME,also tried a duratrax lr3 plug in it ,the picco really seems to like this plug,

rawiswar

cool glad to here your enjoying the darkside lol

anyway i have decided to ditch the hpi ribbed pipe it does not restrict the picco enough for any low to mid performance i had to put a revo delfector on to help with it and trying to find or modify a header for it is impossible with out leaking and would not last long


what i am asking is what side pipe and header will fit the picco 26 max


really need to get out and bash by end of week lol

rawiswar

the pipe that seems to be the best is the ofna 053 but the only one i can find here is the ofna 063

would this work

and what about the jammin jp3 pipe also i know i have to put a small block gasket on the exhaust port and the the big block gasket in the header

thank you

piccorevo

could somebody please tell me where i can get a complete carb for a picco .26 Max engine as i have just had a bad flip with my truck and it has shattered the carb?

i have only found these ones but i dont know which ones would fit as i cant find an exploded view of the .26 engine

http://www.modelsport.co.uk/?CallFun...n&ItemID=23435 i know this is the .21 carb but is it the same or
