i want to get a new engine. but im not sure wat i want to get. i would like sumthin that is not costly, and i can still use my stock tranny and drivetrain in my t-maxx 3.3. i was thinkin of an os engine or a picco.

OS or Picco is a great choice. I'd go picco for the extra power.

I just put in a .26 picco, it's a powerhouse..Almost too much power at times. Tower Hobbies had them in stock a week or so ago check there and at impakt

christoptt

wait if thatl fit in an 3.3 it should fit in an 2.5 right? Thanks

PiccoLow

Yes a 3.3 will directly no mods drop right in a 2.5. So will an OS.18tm so I am told

I just put an os 18tm in my 3.3 Revo a couple weeks ago...direct replacement. I chose this over the pico for 2 reasons...price and power (still has better low end than the stock 3.3 but won't chew up and spit out your drivetrain like a Pico 26 will!).

Beasley1

As long as your mesh is set up correct it wont mess up the drivetrain. I do recomend the FOC if you do decide on the picco.

I run a modded Picco Max 26 in my revo for over a gallon with no signs of wear.

PiccoLow

I firmly believe it has a lot to do with gear ratio, driving style and luck if you bust your truck with a picco or not. Mostly luck, good or bad.

bud09

i gonna go with the os 18tm.
1. its cheaper
2. its a direct drop-in, which i like.

megamaxx

i run maxxs with both the picco 26 and os 18,if your hard on the throttle go with the os ,its much more forgiving on the drive train than the picco,and still will haul *****

bud09

ya im hard on the throttle. tryin mostly to get good wheelies. and i like speed, and wacthin the tire baloon a bit at WOT.

ajb1205

Great choice...you won't regret it. With the stock Revo pipe it's a blast. I think I might grab a Trinity pipe off ebay...then we'll see what it can do!

Did you ever run the .26 Max without the mods first to give a before and after? I too am interested in this engine but with mods out the door.
