Engine upgrade...Pico 4.27 worth it?

[Nor_Cal_Guy]

I have Revo 2.5r, needless to say among my other RCs it's by far the slowest. So my question is: is the Picco P2.26 RB TM523 really worth the $300 when I can get a traxxas 3.3 for $110 and a new pipe...?

The Picco has a lot more power than the 3.3 even with an aftermarket pipe on the Traxxas mill.

Easy answer to this, YES! The Picco is worth every last penny if you want the most vicious thing available for that Revo.

How does this motor compare to my O.S. 21VZ-B?
I just now have the motor broken in and am doing some tuning on it, and am just not happy with the over all performance. I think a lot of this has to do with the Texas humidity which I wasn't experiencing 2-3 months ago when I first put the big block in and took out the 3.3 motor.

I could just through the Pico .26 from my Losi in there and get an Lrp 30 for the Losi truck?

Is it the same .26 they build for the Traxxas stuff? Ofna actually makes a motor that's designed to be a bolt-in upgrade for Traxxas models that will work with the EZ-Start.

And I wouldn't bother with the LRP, put a Picco .28 on the LST and put that LRP to bed.

Sounds like a hell of a plan.
