Ditching the 3.3

[cwal1774]

Hey everybody its been a good while since I've posted anything. Ok well I've had it with the 3.3! The first one went to hell after 3 gallons of fuel the connecting rod split and punched a hole the piston. so i put in a new piston and sleeve and a Davis Diesel con rod. Now after a shade under two gallons the skirt broke off the piston. Now my plan is to get the Ofna Picco .26 max ez-start. Does anyone run one of these and what can I expect out of it? Any info would be great. Thanks

i done searchs my self and the folks say the picco is a great big block engne to get. easy to tune and gobs of power.
i have 2 maxs with the 2.5 s in them and iam suprized how good they are. i even have a os 18tm sitting on the shelf waiting for one of the 2.5 to tick me off but so fat not yet.
if your interested iam thinking of selling the os 18 tm. its a direct drop in.

The picco is an animal. It is night and day difference.

Expect to upgrade your drivetrain. Picco's rip.

the OS 18 is a stout little motor as well. The drivetrain should hold together better with it and its much better on fuel consumption.
